1:17 All news, all the time. This is WINS.
1:24 You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world.
1:27 Good evening. It's 42 degrees at 5:00 and here's what's happening.
1:32 Mayor Koch urges the talks to resume between the city and unions...
1:35 ...but he says the unions have to give in a bit.
1:38 The PBA negotiator says he wants real salary increases.
1:41 Nassau police ask an 18-year-old mother why she abandoned her child.
1:45 A federal judge rules an accused war criminal...
1:48 ...must testify in his deportation hearing.
1:51 A House committee tells the president...
1:53 ...it does not like proposed Mid-east arms sales.
1:55 The news watch never stops! This is WINS.
2:02 WINS news time, 5:02.
2:05 Contract talks have ended temporarily...
2:07 ...between the city and its labor union...
2:09 ...with both sides making some angry charges.
2:12 The municipal labor unions broke off talks...
2:14 ...demanding that the city withdraw what they call their outrageous...
2:17 ...and irresponsible contract proposals.
2:20 The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association...
2:21 ...and the Uniformed Firefighters Association...
2:24 ...are the two unions not participating in the coalition bargaining with the city...
2:29 ...and the PEA chief negotiator says he wants...
2:31 ...some solid gains for the men in blue.
2:33 A bankrupt New York City can't afford...
2:35 ...to lose money, but city officials say it did...
2:37 ...between two and five million dollars in the first two months of 1978 alone--
2:46 "On the first part of the journey, I was lookin' at all the life."
2:54 "There were plants and birds and rocks and things."
2:57 "There was sand and hills and rings."
3:02 "The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz."
3:05 "And the sky with no clouds."
3:10 "The heat was hot and the ground was dry but the air was full of sound."
3:15 I do all kinds of business with him. He knows Carl Elway.
3:18 He knows exactly what he's getting into.
3:37 What are you doing, going behind my back?
3:39 Telling people I'm screwing up this operation?
3:41 I got you a suite at the fucking Plaza Hotel.
3:43 - The shittiest suite at the Plaza Hotel. - What?
3:45 The shittiest fucking suite and...
3:46 - ...the food is wrong. - Based on what?
3:48 - And what is this? What is it? - The food's wrong? What is what?
3:50 - You went in my closet or something? - No.
3:52 Are you dressing him like you dress me?
3:53 No, what are you thinking? This isn't all about you.
3:55 What, did you try to dress me so I would look like him?
3:57 No, you're not dressed like him.
3:58 - But I do look... I look like him. - No.
3:59 - He's in, like, velvet. - Velvet?
4:01 You asked me to show you how this was done.
4:02 You want to fuck it up, be my guest.
4:04 - What is your problem? - Hey, look...
4:04 ...I never laid a hand on her, all right? Is that what this is about?
4:07 Well, technically, that's not true.
4:11 Look, we never had sex, ok? Just, what'd I do?
4:13 I went like... What'd I do?
4:14 - I put my hand like this. - You fucking get out.
4:16 Don't you fucking touch me.
4:18 That bothers me.
4:19 - Oh, it does? - Oh, yeah.
4:21 - That bothers you? - Yes.
4:22 You know, a lot of shit bothers me, too, but I was trying to help you.
4:24 If I wanted to bother you, if I really wanted to fucking bother you...
4:28 this is what I'd do.
4:30 If I was trying to bother you, that's what I would do.
4:33 You shouldn't have done that.
4:35 How's that? You bothered now?
4:40 All right, don't make a thing of it.
4:42 You shouldn't touch him, he doesn't like that.
4:44 - Oh, my God, fix his hair. - No, you really shouldn't--
4:45 Jesus Christ, don't make a thing of it.
4:47 - It takes some time, ok? - Big fucking deal.
4:48 It's not like just...
4:51 We got to get in the other room. Come on.
4:53 - The mayor's in there. - Yes, I know that.
4:58 Should we go to the beauty parlor? Is that what we should do?
5:06 How's it look?
5:07 Fine.
5:10 Let's go.
5:34 "Times are hard. You're afraid to pay the fee."
5:39 "So you find yourself somebody who can do the job for free."
5:47 "When you need a bit of lovin' because your man is outta town..."
5:54 " ...that's the time you get me runnin'. And you know I'll be around."
6:03 "I'm a fool to do your dirty work. Oh, yeah."
6:07 Look, I do business face-to-face, person-to-person.
6:11 That's just who I am, call me old-fashioned, but...
6:13 Carl, I come all the way down here, the sheik's not even here?
6:16 Excuse me, excuse me.
6:18 I'll handle that for the mayor.
6:21 No, the... It's for the mayor.
6:24 It'd be a sign of disrespect to the sheik...
6:25 ...if the mayor didn't take it. It's for you, Mayor.
6:28 What are you doing? Carl, what the fuck?
6:30 - What is this? - I'm gonna take care of it.
6:31 Everything's good. I got everything under control.
6:33 It's for me.
6:34 - Hey, hey. What is this? - I handle the money.
6:35 - What is this? What is this? - I don't know.
6:37 - I don't know. - I mean, who are you?
6:38 - I don't know you. - Just stop it, ok?
6:40 - He's got to take it himself. - I don't know what the fuck...
6:41 ...that is, but it's weird, you understand?
6:43 Misunderstanding, misunderstanding.
6:45 Look, I came here to meet a sheik...
6:47 - ...that's all I know. - Ok, Mr. Mayor...
6:48 I'm very interested in that, but he's not here apparently.
6:50 - Carl, you know what I mean? - This is not right.
6:52 Look, I'm very interested in meeting the sheik.
6:55 You let me know when that can happen.
6:56 - We will. - Thank you, have a good day.
6:59 Irving, you better come get him.
7:02 Go out there and get him right now.
7:03 Help me get him back. Get the--
7:05 Get him, go get him. He needs to take this fucking briefcase.
7:07 I didn't want to do this in the first place.
7:08 This is your show, you go get him.
7:10 No, you have no choice. You have to go get him.
7:12 Now, go get him so he takes the briefcase by himself.
7:15 That's the whole plan, Irving.
7:18 What were you doing pushing the fucking briefcase, dummy, huh?
7:21 The whole fucking thing was falling apart.
7:22 You know how much it fucking costs for this goddamn hotel...
7:25 ...that you fucking asked for?
7:26 Now I got to go mop up your mess.
7:28 I'm gonna go fucking mop up your mess.
7:36 You understand what I'm saying, right?
7:37 You understand that he has... It wasn't working.
7:39 He was getting upset about the sheik and--
7:43 Did you ever have to find a way to survive...
7:46 ...and you knew your choices were bad?
7:49 I learned how to survive when I was a kid.
7:54 My father had a glass business.
7:57 I would rather be on the taking side...
7:59 ...than the getting-taken side any day of the week...
8:01 ...especially after I saw how my father got taken.
8:05 I mean, seeing that scarred me for life.
8:10 I took it upon myself to drum up business.
8:15 I became a different kind of guy than my father.
8:18 I became a con artist for real.
8:20 From the feet up.
8:22 I was gonna survive no matter what.
8:26 I still had the glass business and a few dry cleaning stores also...
8:32 ...and I did some art dealing on the side.
8:35 Stolen or forged art.
8:37 Your host! Enjoy, enjoy-
8:39 - Enjoy. - Come on.
8:41 So, one January...
8:43 ...I go to my friend's pool party in Long Island.
9:11 Is that Duke Ellington on your bracelet?
9:13 Yeah, as a matter of fact, it is.
9:15 He died this year, you know?
9:16 I know.
9:17 I doubt anyone else here knows or cares about it.
9:21 Well, I care about it.
9:22 He saved my life many times.
9:25 Mine, too.
9:27 Which one?
9:29 Jeep's Blues.
9:31 Jeep's Blues.
9:33 Mmm-hmm. Jeep's Blues.
9:35 Oh, yeah.
9:36 Yeah.
9:37 You... You want to hear it?
9:40 Right now?
9:41 - Yeah. - Sure.
10:04 Who starts a song like that?
10:07 It's magic.
10:10 It's magic.
10:16 He wasn't necessarily in good shape...
10:18 ...and he had this comb-over that was rather elaborate.
10:24 He had this air about him...
10:27 ...and he had this confidence that drew me to him.
10:31 He was who he was.
10:33 He didn't care.
10:38 I mean, she was a very particular person.
10:45 Like me, she had come from a place where her options were limited.
10:56 It actually can feel kind of sexy sometimes.
11:01 There's a boldness in it.
11:06 But where would that boldness take me?
11:09 I didn't know.
11:12 But I was gonna find out.
11:17 Like me, she learned to survive and reinvent herself.
11:20 She knew she had to reinvent her life and her identity.
11:24 And like me, she envisioned a better, elegant future for herself.
11:29 Like me, she knew you had to have a vision.
11:33 She came to New York, she envisioned it...
11:35 ...and just like that...
11:37 ...she applied for a job at Cosmopolitan magazine.
11:40 Well, you're obviously here for a reason, let's get to it.
11:42 All right. Our cover story right now is on cunnilingus.
11:45 What do you think about that?
11:48 I like it.
11:50 Do you have any clerical skills? Can you type?
11:54 She was unlike anybody I ever knew.
11:56 She was smart.
11:57 She saw through people in situations...
12:00 ...and she knew how to live with passion and style...
12:03 ...she understood Duke Ellington.
12:09 I was broke, fearless, with nothing to lose...
12:15 ...and my dream, more than anything...
12:19 ...was to become anyone else other than who I was.
12:30 He had a chain of dry cleaning stores.
12:34 Enter. Yeah, I got two in the Bronx...
12:36 ...and three in Manhattan.
12:38 Hey, Byron, how you doing? This is Sydney.
12:41 - Right here, come through here. - Hi.
12:42 He asked me if I wanted to come in and upgrade my wardrobe.
12:45 He said he had a lot of nice things...
12:47 ...that got left behind by people and forgotten over the years.
12:51 Man, you wouldn't believe the shit...
12:52 ...that people leave behind here. Unbelievable.
12:55 - People leave stuff here? - Come back here.
12:56 Oh, yeah, they go out for the night, you know, they drink...
13:00 ...come here in the morning,
13:01 ...put their clothes in and then they forget.
13:03 They got no idea where they left it.
13:04 - Look at that sequin thing. - It's beautiful.
13:06 I don't know, is that nice or not?
13:07 I mean, some of it... Some of it's been here for years.
13:10 They're not picking it up.
13:11 No one's picking it up.
13:13 - You like it? - - People just leave... I love it.
13:15 Sydney, it's yours.
13:17 You want it, it's yours.
13:21 Whoo!
13:23 I like it.
13:24 You look fantastic.
13:29 You're a knockout.
13:31 Oh, my God.
13:33 I could only dream about...
13:34 These dresses are beautiful. Oh!
13:39 - This... - That's... I'm...
13:40 No, it's beautiful. Put it on. Come on.
13:43 Come on, look at that. Please?
13:46 - Perfect for you. - I don't feel...
13:49 - Really? - Love it.
13:52 This is for you.
13:55 I felt like we had a secret, just the two of us...
13:58 ...you know, like that thing when you just want to be...
14:00 ...with the one person the whole time and...
14:03 ...you feel like the two of you understand something...
14:05 ...that nobody else gets.
14:07 I could just tell her everything about myself.
14:18 And I'd never had anybody like that in my life before...
14:22 ...and it felt like, finally...
14:24 ...I could truly be myself without being ashamed...
14:29 ...without being embarrassed.
14:33 What is this place?
14:35 Do you sell art here?
14:37 Yeah, sometimes.
14:38 It's my office.
14:40 Well, I know it's your office, but you have all these other places...
14:43 ...so what's this for?
14:46 Why'd you bring me here?
14:48 This is getting to be my... My main business...
14:51 ...my growing business.
14:53 I, uh...
14:55 I help get loans for guys who can't get loans.
14:57 You know, I'm their last resort.
14:59 You're their last resort?
15:01 'Cause interest rates are north of 12% and heading to 18%.
15:04 That's right, smarty pants.
15:06 - Fucking Jimmy Carter. - Fucking Jimmy Carter.
15:08 Well, fucking Nixon, really...
15:10 ...and the war and the deficit and all of that shit, but--
15:12 I fucking love you, you're so smart.
15:15 You are.
15:16 Thanks, kid, but how do you get them the money?
15:23 Well...
15:24 You don't, do you?
15:28 You don't.
15:31 These guys are lousy risks, you know?
15:33 I can't get them a loan, but I get my fee, $5,000.
15:38 $5,000?
15:39 You take $5,000 and you don't give them anything.
15:41 All right, these are bad guys, you know?
15:43 They got bad divorces, gambling habits...
15:45 ...embezzling, all that shit, you know what I mean?
15:48 Everybody at the bottom crosses paths eventually...
15:50 ...in a pool of desperation and you're waiting for them.
15:58 How about "we"?
16:01 - "We"? - Mmm-hmm.
16:04 How about it?
16:09 Sydney, Sydney, I'm sorry.
16:11 That was too much, I went too far.
16:13 I didn't want to upset you. Sydney, please, I'm sorry.
16:15 I know it ain't for everybody.
16:18 Oh, God! I loved getting to know you!
16:22 All right. Why did I tell the truth?
16:24 Why'd I tell her the truth?
16:31 What did I do that for?
16:32 What did I do that for? I fucked it up.
16:36 I should never tell a woman the truth, but she's so smart.
16:39 She's different.
16:42 She's different.
16:45 God.
16:51 You said it was nice knowing me.
16:54 You said it was nice to meet me.
16:58 Yeah.
16:59 Would you like to meet...
17:02 Lady Edith Greensly?
17:08 I have royal banking connections in London.
17:13 I'd love to help you with your loan...
17:15 ...but, of course, I have to be very selective.
17:19 Yeah.
17:20 Yes.
17:22 That was fucking fantastic.
17:25 Thank you. Did you like it?
17:27 I liked it.
17:28 I didn't think you were coming back.
17:31 - Thank God you came back. - I wasn't going anywhere.
17:33 I fucking love you.
17:35 You have me.
17:36 And so Irving and I began our partnership in love and commerce.
17:41 Rebecca, hold on.
17:43 He told me to tell my friends I had London banking connections.
17:48 Listen, she told me you can get me a line of credit.
17:50 I heard you have banking connections in London, England.
17:51 And after that, say "no" a lot until the guy is hooked.
17:56 - Rebecca, get me that meeting, huh? - No!
17:58 - Listen, tell her. - No.
17:59 - I have never missed a check. - No.
18:01 It was almost scary how easy it could be...
18:03 ...to take money from desperate people.
18:06 Lady Edith Greensly. It's so good to see you again.
18:09 Lady... Your Ladyship. Thank you. Again.
18:12 These are the roles that we were meant to play.
18:15 We're very selective.
18:16 You got a strong application. We'll talk about it.
18:19 I don't take a deal that I can't close.
18:22 You're not being aggressive enough in putting up your assets.
18:24 You ever been to Great Neck?
18:25 Everybody knows my dealerships.
18:27 5,000 gets me 50, right?
18:29 Five'll get me 35, is that right?
18:30 Five grand gets me 50?
18:32 5,000 gets me 50, right?
18:35 I was doing so much more business with her.
18:37 It doubled, then it tripled.
18:40 And I never met anyone, man or woman, in business...
18:43 ...who was so careful and precise about everything...
18:45 ...every stylistic detail.
18:47 Congratulations.
18:48 We kept selling art together, too.
18:50 ...genre painting, which is really rare for the time.
18:52 It's a boy and his dog.
18:53 It's a non-religious painting...
18:55 - 16... - ...55.
18:57 Golden Age Dutch painting.
18:59 Paul Klee. Expressionism. Bauhaus Movement.
19:02 Before we go any further, is this legit?
19:04 Let's just say, you know, it's missing from Spain, leave it at that.
19:08 Don't show any Spanish friends.
19:13 I mean, it just took off. We got a better office...
19:17 ...we called it "London Associates," for her accent.
19:23 When I was around her, I felt joy...
19:27 ...fucking joy!
19:28 And love, that's what I felt.
19:31 "I've got your number and what you're lookin' for."
19:39 "And what you're lookin' for, just suits me fine."
19:46 "We'll break the rules a lot. We'll be damn fools a lot."
19:54 "But then why should we not? How could we not combine?"
20:01 "I've got your number and I've got the glow you've got."
20:09 "I've got your number and more."
20:15 "So go ahead and pick a number from one to ten."
20:20 "Your losing streak is over. I can't win again."
20:24 "And here's the punchline..."
20:50 As far as I could see...
20:51 ...people were always conning each other to get what they wanted.
20:55 We even con ourselves.
20:57 We talk ourselves into things, you know?
20:58 We sell ourselves things we maybe don't even need or want...
21:02 ...you know, by dressing them up.
21:04 We leave out the risk, we leave out the ugly truth.
21:10 Pay attention to that...
21:13 ...'cause we're all conning ourselves in one way or another...
21:16 ...just to get through life.
21:21 He was married and he had a son.
21:24 Daddy!
21:26 He had adopted her son.
21:28 You're just such an artist! Look at that!
21:30 He was a really good dad.
21:32 I respected him for that.
21:33 Proud! You should be so proud!
21:35 It was a tough situation for everyone.
21:39 What'd you do today?
21:40 That kid Donovan is being mean to me.
21:43 Thai big kid?
21:44 I thought Mommy was picking you up, so he couldn't bother you.
21:48 She was late.
21:50 And then after we put out the fire...
21:52 ...Mommy said stay in my room with my baseball cards.
21:56 What fire?
21:57 Did you know they made a lamp that has the sun in it?
22:01 Mommy got the lamp, she made her special drink...
22:05 ...and the lamp made a fire.
22:08 I put out the fire.
22:11 The fire is out.
22:17 First time in my life, I do the right thing.
22:19 - Oh, shut up. Shut up. - No, no, no...
22:21 I save a young single mother and a kid.
22:25 I marry her, I adopt him...
22:26 You fell in love! Don't you dare forget that part!
22:28 We fell madly in love.
22:30 Yes, I fell in love.
22:31 My God, I fell in love. But you know what?
22:33 I thought you were mysterious, like my mother...
22:34 ...until it turned out that "mysterious"...
22:36 ...just meant "depressed," all right? "Hard to reach."
22:38 I mean, I'm dying here.
22:39 And you need somebody who's gonna be quiet...
22:41 ...who's gonna be shy...
22:42 ...you're young, you're beautiful, you gotta find somebody else.
22:44 You gotta go out and get some friends, all right?
22:46 I don't like going out.
22:47 You know that I get anxiety when I have to meet people.
22:50 You know how hard that is.
22:51 You cannot just stay in the house with a fucking sun lamp.
22:55 All right?
22:56 And I cant... I mean, look, I can't trust you with Danny when you...
22:59 That fire and everything...
23:01 - I can't trust to leave you alone. - I put the fire out, Irving.
23:02 There is no fire. Maybe if you were here more...
23:05 ...then there wouldn't have been a fire in the first place.
23:06 Oh, what, there wouldn't have been a fire if I was here?
23:08 Just stop with the whole fire thing! God! It was a mistake!
23:11 I'm sure a million people do that, all the time.
23:13 Those sun lamps are dangerous.
23:15 Shouldn't even have them in the house, really.
23:18 I bet that happens all the time.
23:21 This was nothing.
23:24 We're not happy, all right?
23:30 You know that I could take Danny...
23:31 ...you know that most of your work is illegal...
23:33 ...and you know that if you tried to divorce me, you know that...
23:35 ...I'm not saying that I would, but I'm saying that I could...
23:38 ...and I'm saying that that is why I don't like divorce, Irving.
23:41 Women do that in divorces.
23:43 Women get the children and then the fathers never see them.
23:46 My mother never got divorced.
23:47 My grandmother never got divorced.
23:49 There are no divorces in my family. I am not getting a divorce.
23:52 Come on, what are we doing here?
23:54 We fight and we fuck and that's what we do. That's our thing.
23:57 She was the Picasso of passive-aggressive karate.
23:59 Come here. Come here.
24:00 She was better than any con artist I ever met, including myself...
24:04 ...and she had me like nobody had me.
24:07 Irving, come to mama, come on.
24:09 You might say she was my karma...
24:11 ...for how I took advantage of people.
24:13 Irving...
24:16 - Oh, my God. - Come here. Come on.
24:20 - Get into bed. - All right.
24:22 Baby, there's such good stuff here.
24:24 I did not want to leave the kid behind.
24:26 He was my son!
24:28 She had me. I was her mark.
24:32 Now, I can't assure you that your loan will be approved...
24:35 ...but I can tell you that any deal take, I close.
24:38 However, my fee is nonrefundable...
24:42 ...just like my time.
24:46 I want to thank you very much, Irving, for seeing me.
24:48 I'm sorry I'm so nervous.
24:50 Is that... Am I not buttoned?
24:54 I just got to say, Mr. Rosenfeld, that Lady Edith was...
24:58 ...very adamant that you were top-notch.
25:00 That's correct.
25:01 I really need your help, I'm desperate.
25:04 I mean, I got the Audis...
25:05 ...and two boats, and I forgot to mention...
25:08 ...that I have a little piece of real estate in Long Island.
25:11 No, you didn't mention that.
25:12 Two lunches and you never mentioned that.
25:15 I was gonna mention it, then the guy with the hat walked in.
25:18 - The hat? - You remember that?
25:19 - I do remember. I forgot, I totally...
25:22 It was the second time we had lunch.
25:24 Yes.
25:25 I thought he was... You couldn't see his eyes.
25:27 It was like he had no eyes.
25:28 Do they sell hats like that? I don't know.
25:30 - It's like he made it. - Where do they come from?
25:31 - He's a great milliner. - Actually, I went to the store.
25:34 I saw a hat store down the street.
25:35 I thought maybe he bought it there...
25:36 ...and I was gonna get you one, as, like, a memento.
25:38 - Two lunches? - Yes.
25:40 - Really? - It's two lunches.
25:41 - What's the big deal? - That's unusual.
25:43 I was trying to get him to be more aggressive.
25:46 On his loan, that is.
25:47 You showed me a whole new side of the city I'd never seen before.
25:49 Yeah, it's...
25:51 - You're welcome. - No. Thank you.
25:54 Yeah, right. Should I take you there?
25:56 - Yeah, it's nice. - You liked it?
25:57 All right, should I take you there twice?
25:59 Stop.
26:04 - What are you doing? - What?
26:06 - You like this guy? - Yes, I like this guy.
26:08 Is this messing with your judgement?
26:10 No, it's not messing with my judgement.
26:11 - Don't be stupid. - Hey, hey, hey.
26:13 Look at me.
26:14 Play your part.
26:16 Fine, you play your part.
26:18 Well, take it to your people in London.
26:20 Please, take it to them.
26:24 I got the cashier's check right here.
26:28 I give you five, and you give me 50 back, right?
26:30 Please.
26:33 Please don't reject me.
26:36 Give a guy a chance.
26:44 Zurich? You got an office in Zurich?
26:48 Paris? I can call Paris.
26:49 Excuse me for a second.
26:50 - Yeah, take your time. - Excuse me.
26:51 - Yeah. It's... - Just be one moment.
26:52 Do whatever you need to do.
26:54 Go ahead, take your time.
26:58 Stick around for a little bit.
27:00 - See my friend over here? - I'm not moving anywhere, all right?
27:02 You got the wrong office, you're gonna be embarrassed.
27:04 I don't think so.
27:06 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, go easy on her.
27:08 I may not have you, Irving, but I have her on fraud.
27:10 - Impersonating another individual. - On fraud?
27:12 - On fraud? What is that? - Yeah, she may not be--
27:13 Identity fraud?
27:14 You may be from England, but you're not royal...
27:17 ...and you have no banking connections...
27:18 - ...and that's a felony. - You don't have to cuff me up.
27:20 How long is that? That's three to five years.
27:21 - Hey, not so... - Oh, really?
27:23 That's interesting. I don't even know your name.
27:25 Richie DiMaso, FBI. Nice to meet you.
27:29 You got to get away from this guy.
27:37 He wouldn't let me see her for three days.
27:39 Even managed to delay her lawyer.
27:46 She couldn't handle it.
27:52 How come the fluorescents are on? Can we kill that, please?
27:54 Jesus Christ, I put this lamp here for you...
27:56 ...'cause I thought it would be better for you.
27:57 There's a wire here, they're scared because people hang themselves...
28:00 ...but I know you're too smart for that.
28:02 Where's the table and chair? There's no bed here?
28:05 It's like a fucking asylum. Joe, is everybody off today?
28:07 Jesus Christ, it's scary.
28:09 Maybe I wanted to scare you, I don't know.
28:10 Maybe it was my idea.
28:11 Maybe I'm a little off the beaten path.
28:14 You know, I don't know, maybe.
28:15 Hey, you look dehydrated.
28:16 Here, you want to have some tea?
28:18 Yeah, your lips are all chapped.
28:24 It's herbal.
28:26 It's my favorite.
28:30 I know you think... Look at me.
28:31 Hey, Edith, I know you think Irv loves you.
28:36 I know you think you know him.
28:40 You think that he sees the world as this cold, dark place...
28:44 ...and he cares about nobody but a very few people on a shortlist.
28:47 His son, his father, Rosalyn and you.
28:49 And you think you're on the top of that list.
28:53 What if you're not? What if you're not on that list?
28:54 What if you're not even on that list at all?
28:58 He'd be in here right now if he took the check...
29:00 ...but no, you did.
29:03 God, it's so clear to me.
29:05 It's so... It's clear to me, but it's not clear to you.
29:06 He uses you, Edith, to protect himself...
29:09 ...to protect his son and his wife in Long Island.
29:13 No? Yes, he put a ring on her finger.
29:15 He adopted her son.
29:17 They have a huge house, they have two cars.
29:19 What does she do all day? I'll tell you what she does.
29:21 She plays with her nails, she watches TV...
29:22 ...and she spends your money, the money that you make.
29:28 I don't like that you're in jail while he's going free.
29:30 I don't like any of that. I want to help you.
29:34 All the razzle-dazzle that he does...
29:35 ...it's not good, it's not real, it's fake, it's not real.
29:37 Who you are is who you are, between you and God...
29:40 ...you and your soul. That's what matters.
29:41 That's what counts, that's what I'm about...
29:43 ...and that's what I see in you.
29:44 Tell me you didn't feel it the first time we saw each other.
29:46 Am I crazy? I don't think so.
29:50 I'm not supposed to be talking like this, but I don't care, I'll break the rules.
29:54 Ok, Edith, Edith, I want to help you.
29:57 I like you.
29:59 I like you.
30:03 I like you.
30:12 Been in there three days.
30:15 Hasn't been so good for her.
30:23 How's that make you feel, her in there?
30:26 That check was for you, right?
30:27 But you knew something was off.
30:31 It's 'cause you're good. You're, like, the best at what you do...
30:33 ...in the whole country, aren't you?
30:37 But you know what, if the country were run...
30:38 ...by people like you, Irving Rosenfeld...
30:40 ...we'd be living in Eastern Europe or Guatemala.
30:42 You ever been to Guatemala? You ever been in jail in Guatemala?
30:44 You ever try to get a telephone or a permit or anything in Guatemala?
30:47 That's what this country would be like...
30:48 ...if we let people that are liars like you run this country.
30:51 Who made you God and judge, huh?
30:53 My grandmother lived to be 93 years old, never lied in her life.
30:56 Congratulations.
30:57 Thank you.
30:58 I'm proud of that, too.
31:00 Does that make her not a good person?
31:02 Is that not something to strive for?
31:03 Why you breaking my balls, huh?
31:05 Get to the point.
31:07 I see something in you, Irving. I get very excited.
31:10 I think that we have a lot of potential here.
31:12 Now, look, I came up with the idea.
31:15 It's all from me, I want to change things.
31:17 I want to go after white-collar crime.
31:19 Irving, you're very skilled...
31:21 ...and I want you to teach me, and we can do this.
31:23 I want four people that do what you do.
31:24 Fraudulent investments, fake certificates of deposit...
31:27 ...stolen art, fake art.
31:28 You get me four people, and you're off the hook.
31:30 Four busts...
31:33 ...and you leave us alone?
31:35 We don't have to testify?
31:36 You're good, you're done. Anything you want.
31:41 But if you run, then your life's over.
31:42 You're gonna be hunted, and it's gonna be very difficult...
31:44 ...for Rosalyn and your kid to live in this country.
31:49 We need to leave. We need to run, and we need to do it now.
31:52 Right, we'll go to Estonia or Romania, I don't care...
31:54 ...but we'll take the cash from the bed, and get out of here, all right?
31:57 - We've talked about it 100 times. - What about Danny?
31:59 What about Danny?
32:00 I adopted him, I gave him my name. I'm not leaving him with Rosalyn.
32:03 - She's unstable. - That is a manipulation.
32:05 Rosalyn will never let you go.
32:07 She'll use Danny against you because she's too messed up to let you leave.
32:12 I can't leave him. I love him, all right?
32:15 He's my son.
32:19 Richie said you would say that.
32:21 - Richie? - Yeah.
32:22 What, the cop? You're on a first-name basis with him?
32:24 Yes, I am.
32:25 - I'm not even on your list, am I? - What list?
32:27 Your list, your short list, your long list.
32:29 I'm not even on any one of your fucking lists.
32:30 - I don't know what you're talking about. - I thought you loved me.
32:32 - I thought that we had something. - We do have something, it's perfect.
32:35 What are you saying?
32:36 We're gonna go to Romania, we're gonna take Danny.
32:37 - Yes. - Is that what you're saying?
32:38 Yes, that's what I'm saying.
32:39 - You, me, Danny, yes. - Really?
32:42 - Well, you never said that before. - Well, I'm saying it now.
32:44 We're us, we can make it an adventure like we did.
32:46 We can make it an adventure like we make everything, all right?
32:49 - All right. - Ok?
32:50 We have to go now, all right? Trust me, we have to leave right now.
32:54 I can't leave Danny, I'll lose custody.
32:56 No, you have to take me away.
32:57 - I can't. - We have to leave.
32:58 - No, what are you saying? - What are you doing?
33:00 - What are you saying? - Please!
33:02 - Oh, my God. - Will you pull it together?
33:04 I can't believe this is happening.
33:07 Don't say I don't love you. That's bullshit.
33:10 This is bullshit.
33:12 We are bullshit.
33:15 You are bullshit.
33:18 You are bullshit.
33:20 Please don't do this.
33:25 I just never thought that you were conning me.
33:28 I could never con you.
33:31 I love you.
33:34 Please don't say this.
33:39 Babe.
33:43 No, I'm done.
33:45 Don't say that.
33:48 I'm gonna do these four busts, these four cons...
33:52 ...to get us out of this, not just me, but us.
33:55 And I'm gonna get really close with Richie the cop...
34:01 ...in case we need to use him, if we need another move.
34:04 We don't need another move.
34:06 We need four busts, then we're done.
34:10 We are gonna need another move.
34:11 Trust me, and you're gonna be thanking me.
34:14 The key to people is what they believe and what they want to believe.
34:18 - So I want to believe that we were real. - We are real.
34:20 And I want to believe that a man could want me...
34:23 ...and I'm gonna take all of that heartbreak...
34:25 ...and all of that sorrow, and l am going to use it...
34:28 ...and I am going to make Richie think that I want him and that I like him.
34:35 And I'm gonna be very, very convincing.
34:41 And I'm pissed at you.
34:43 'Cause I am pissed at you.
34:48 Maybe I do like him.
34:52 Maybe I like him a lot.
35:00 From the feet up, right?
35:02 Baby.
35:09 Quit your bellyaching and come up with something...
35:10 ...to get us out of this.
35:12 And you're right, I'm in no state to deal with this.
35:14 So what's it gonna be, Mr. Mastermind?
35:20 An Arab sheik?
35:22 What do we want an Arab sheik for?
35:25 Well, how do you think this works' stupid?
35:27 If you could not call him stupid, which he isn't.
35:30 He's smarter than you.
35:31 Last time I checked, he's in control and we work for him now...
35:34 ...so be nice, ok?
35:37 Ok.
35:42 To set this up, to bust the con artist...
35:46 ...we need to make the honeypot to attract the bees.
35:50 To attract the bees, we need to offer them...
35:53 ...a wealthy individual who they can take advantage of.
35:56 Someone special, someone new, someone amazing.
35:59 And those guys are going to want to sell...
36:00 ...fake bank CDs to that guy.
36:03 Take the sheik's money, you see?
36:05 Only they can't get into his money unless they know someone...
36:07 - ...and that someone is us. - Oh, that's good.
36:10 So, if you want to get somebody like...
36:12 ...your con artist friend, Carl Elway...
36:15 - ...you get him to want to buy or sell-- - Keep your voice down.
36:17 Sell fake art or stolen art or fake certificates of deposit...
36:20 ...he needs, who does he need? He needs a rich sheik-guy...
36:22 ...and there you go, we can pinch him.
36:23 That's right, that's right, but I don't tell Elway shit.
36:26 I wait for him to call me.
36:28 The art world is a small world...
36:31 ...and one of Elway's acquaintances is clocking us right now.
36:36 - Where? - Don't look. Don't look.
36:43 You have a good look?
36:45 How do you know the sheik?
36:48 This is my friend Al, from Queens.
36:51 I do aluminum siding and roofing.
36:57 I want to show you something.
36:59 This Rembrandt here...
37:01 ...people come from all over the world to see this.
37:04 Yeah, he's good. Yeah.
37:06 It's a fake.
37:07 What? What are you talking about? That's impossible.
37:09 People believe what they want to believe.
37:13 'Cause the guy who made this was so good...
37:16 ...that it's real to everybody.
37:19 Now, who's the master?
37:22 The painter or the forger?
37:25 That's a fake?
37:28 That's the way the world works.
37:30 Not black-and-white, like you say.
37:35 Extremely gray.
37:37 Irving, could I...
37:38 Arthur, how many times I got to tell you?
37:40 You can't meet the sheik, all right?
37:41 - Could I please meet him sometime? - Carl can't meet him.
37:43 Not yet. Another time.
37:44 Arthur. Hi. Come on.
37:46 - Edith. - Edith, hi.
37:48 Yes, I wanted to introduce you to Robert Spencer.
37:50 We're advising the sheik together.
37:52 - Thank you. - Robert Spencer.
37:54 Advisor to the sheik. Yeah.
37:56 What's this about a goddamn sheik?
37:58 Why are you leaving me out of this? Huh?
38:00 I got to hear it from my friends?
38:02 - It ain't for you, Carl. - What do you mean, it ain't for me?
38:04 - Nah, it ain't for you. - What are you talking about?
38:05 We got to do certificates of deposit I can print as many as you need.
38:07 - I got my associates here. - What do you mean, guys?
38:09 Come on. This is not a one-man operation.
38:11 Look, I can get other guys. What are you talking about, Irving?
38:13 I can get other guys. You're telling me that you can...
38:15 ...get four guys to sell fake certificates of deposit
38:19 ...to my investor within a week?
38:21 Yes, I can make that happen.
38:23 Carl Elway can do what he says he's going to do.
38:25 That's interesting, but, you know...
38:26 ...I got other guys lined up. I got a meeting.
38:30 Here, look, these are my associates. I got to run.
38:31 - Carl, his associates are here. - Don't go.
38:33 - He's got a meeting he's got to go to. - Listen, don't go...
38:34 - I got to run. - No, don't go... No, don't go.
38:36 Crazy thing about people...
38:37 ...the more you say no, the more they want in on something.
38:40 Yeah, they're so stupid.
38:41 I got to run. Come on.
38:43 I'll tell them. Don't worry. Don't worry. I'll tell...
38:45 Hey, you know what Carl just told me?
38:47 He said he could do this whole thing with four guys within a week.
38:51 - Or we could do something much bigger. - All right.
38:52 Something bigger?
38:53 Yeah, my guy deals with hundreds of millions of dollars.
38:55 - How much bigger? - Hundreds of--
38:56 I knew you were holding out on me, Irving!
38:58 Hundreds of millions of dollars? Like, much bigger.
39:01 Like, I'm talking about, we could say never the fuck mind the CDs...
39:04 ...and we could have some complete access to something huge.
39:06 Huge? Like what?
39:07 Robert Spencer. I'm adviser to the sheik.
39:09 Carl Elway.
39:10 I want you to think of the most undervalued asset...
39:12 ...in the state of New Jersey today.
39:14 The rebuilding of Atlantic City.
39:19 Look, maybe they... maybe they legalized gambling...
39:21 - ...a year ago... - Wow.
39:22 ...and nothing's happening.
39:23 - Hey. - No licenses, no permits.
39:25 Quit while you're ahead, Carl.
39:27 I know the guy... I know the right people...
39:28 - ...who are going to help you out. - Who's the guy?
39:30 The guy is Carmine Polito.
39:32 Who's Carmine Polito?
39:33 Carmine Polito?
39:35 Carmine Polito, no.
39:37 My boss, Stoddard, proceeded to tell me...
39:39 ...that Carmine Polito was the most quietly powerful person
39:42 ...in the state of New Jersey.
39:43 A lifetime native of the very racially mixed Camden...
39:46 ...which had become a ghetto.
39:48 And where he had been mayor for ten years.
39:50 A very beloved guy.
39:52 A guy who never gave up on his people.
39:54 His father had emigrated from Italy and had stoked coal.
39:59 A big family guy with five kids.
40:02 They even adopted some other kid, a black kid...
40:04 ...from the Boys and Girls Club who'd lost his family.
40:07 I mean, his household was a joyous place.
40:11 And his wife, Dolly, well, she was the apple of his eye.
40:15 And the center of the household.
40:17 I mean, everyone loved this guy.
40:22 And he had a huge heart.
40:24 The WPA employed craftsmen to paint this during the Depression.
40:29 Why can't we employ people today...
40:31 ...to do work like this in rebuilding Atlantic City?
40:34 He worked with all the unions...
40:36 ...he was the leader of the State Assembly,
40:37 ...and he had just gotten gambling legalized...
40:39 ...in New Jersey to create jobs.
40:41 But he couldn't get the funds to rebuild Atlantic City.
40:44 And that was his problem.
40:47 So, with our help, he was about to have his hand
40:49 ...in the wrong pocket at the wrong time.
40:51 And to me, that meant corrupt.
40:54 You said grifters, con artists.
40:57 We're not going after some politician.
40:58 This is a bad idea, Richard.
41:01 Look, it's really simple.
41:02 All you need is to put two million in a Chase account...
41:06 - What? - ...under the sheik's name.
41:08 Whose $2 million?
41:10 Just listen.
41:11 $2 million under the sheik's name...
41:13 ...in a Chase account that we control.
41:17 Carmine calls up on the telephone...
41:21 ...calls the bank and he sees that the sheik is real...
41:23 ...and he has a real account.
41:26 Five days.
41:27 I'm not taking $2 million of the taxpayers' money...
41:30 ...putting it anywhere for five days.
41:32 I don't care if we control it the whole time.
41:34 Stoddard, let us do what we need to do to rule out corruption...
41:37 ...and to get rid of the pay-off guys...
41:39 ...that are ruining this country. That's my dream.
41:41 - Don't smother it, please. - You know, Richard,
41:42 ...I understand your eagerness.
41:44 I really do.
41:46 You know I'm from Michigan, right?
41:48 Let me tell you a story...
41:49 ...about me and my dad and my brother.
41:51 We used to go ice fishing every November.
41:53 Ice fishing, that's all anybody...
41:55 - That's what we lived for. - Holy shit.
41:56 Just listen to me.
41:57 It's beautiful. You have a little stove.
41:59 You huddle around, you keep each other warm.
42:01 You drop a line and you just wait.
42:04 One year, my brother says...
42:05 "Let's go in October."
42:06 He wants to go ice fishing in October.
42:08 My dad says, "No, the ice is too thin."
42:11 My brother says, I love my brother, he says--
42:12 I understand. Your brother went out on the ice...
42:14 ...the ice was too thin, he fell through the ice...
42:16 ...he went in the water 'cause he was too eager...
42:17 ...and you're saying I'm too eager. That's what you're saying?
42:18 No, that's not what I'm saying.
42:20 What are you saying?
42:22 You know, we'll finish the ice story another time, young man.
42:25 For now, no Carmine Polito.
42:28 Go do your job.
42:29 Stoddard shot the whole thing down.
42:31 Boring.
42:32 But Edith was a genius.
42:34 Yeah, you take me to Brenda.
42:35 She somehow found this woman who controlled the wire room.
42:39 A woman I'd never even heard of.
42:41 She's amazing. She's in charge of all the wire transfers.
42:45 Way back in a warren buried in the Bureau.
42:47 She likes cats.
42:48 This cat lady no one ever even talked to.
42:52 And Edith met her in the ladies room and became friends with her.
42:55 - Brenda? - Hi.
42:57 - Hello. - How are you?
42:58 This lady handled all the wires, and now she was working with us.
43:02 She was excited to be included in an operation...
43:05 ...instead of just being on the other end of a memo.
43:07 You said you liked exotic booze, so...
43:08 - It was beautiful. - That's from England.
43:09 - This is from England? - Yeah.
43:10 That's right. And I brought you some tea as well.
43:12 - Oh, thank you so much. - I mean, nobody...
43:14 - ...ever talks to me. - I know.
43:15 I mean, they just say, "Brenda, do the clerical wiring stuff...
43:18 "...and don't ask questions."
43:19 You need to tell Richie about your cats.
43:20 - Oh, my cats? - He loves cats.
43:22 - Oh, my cats? - Yeah.
43:23 Well, that's Harry.
43:24 Look at him standing up! Isn't that sweet?
43:27 And that's Wendy. She's a rascal.
43:29 But Barnaby, that's another story.
43:31 Barnaby plays the piano.
43:33 That's impressive.
43:35 We got her to wire $2 million into an FBI-controlled account at Chase.
43:39 It'd be there for five days, and if Polito called...
43:43 ...he'd see that the sheik was real.
43:44 And by the time Stoddard caught up to us...
43:46 ...Edith made sure his boss was impressed by my idea.
43:49 So, before he even knew it was happening...
43:51 ...his boss was calling to congratulate him...
43:53 The sheik with the money in the bank is a...
43:56 Anthony Amado. He had a major hard-on to make a name for himself.
44:00 I mean, this guy loved the idea of being famous.
44:02 Don't be modest.
44:03 And Stoddard had to say...
44:05 ...it was his own idea or he'd look stupid in front of his boss.
44:07 You made me accept praise from my boss for thanking me...
44:10 ...for something that never should have happened...
44:12 - ...something that I didn't approve. - You should be happy.
44:15 There's imaginative things happening in this office.
44:17 All right? We're not just working in a box.
44:20 We got the $2 million to put Carmine and the sheik together.
44:23 Punk.
44:25 I liked being on this side of the line.
44:27 But someone had been left out.
44:29 We succeeded because we stayed small.
44:31 I got you Carl Elway.
44:34 He bought a stolen art, sold fake bank CD's.
44:37 That's enough. That's one.
44:38 I get you three more, no politicians.
44:40 You're going to do this...
44:42 ...because you got no choice, you work for me.
44:44 Now, you keep changing the rules.
44:45 You know, you're getting a little power-drunk, Richard.
44:48 You want to tell him, Edith? You want to wake him up?
44:50 Oh, no. I said we shouldn't do any of it, Irving...
44:51 ...you know I said that, so now I support Richie.
44:54 He's got vision. Do it heavy or don't do it.
44:56 Wait. What does that mean?
44:57 I mean, he's the one ruining America, not me.
44:59 How the fuck am I ruining America?
45:01 Because people just got over Watergate and Vietnam, all right...
45:03 ...and you're going to shit all over politicians again?
45:06 And just because you want to be a big shot, get a promotion.
45:08 No. I'm thinking big, all right?
45:10 This is going to be fantastic. We're doing video surveillance.
45:12 I'm doing this from the feet up.
45:14 You will never do it properly...
45:16 ...because you got too much government attitude...
45:17 ...to be small and sleek.
45:19 I'm like the fucking Vietcong, man, all right?
45:21 I'm in and I'm out. I was there the whole time.
45:23 You don't know it, all right?
45:25 That's the fucking art of becoming somebody...
45:27 ...who people can pin their beliefs and their dreams on.
45:32 And you can't do it.
45:34 How about a suite at the Sheraton Hotel?
45:35 For Carmine Polito...
45:36 - ...and rebuilding Atlantic City... - Why not?
45:38 - ...you need a luxury hotel for the sheik. - Oh, come on.
45:41 Carmine does backdoor dealings all the time. We don't have a...
45:43 We don't got a budget for that, Irving.
45:44 You got to knock the mayor...
45:47 ...the speaker of the State Assembly...
45:49 ...you got to knock him off of his fucking feet, all right?
45:51 He's got to feel like he's out of his league.
45:53 What you're offering, this deal...
45:55 ...I mean, this is unheard of in the state of New Jersey...
45:57 ...maybe even the whole fucking country, all right?
45:59 A sheik with hundreds of millions of dollars...
46:01 ...to rebuild Atlantic City, are you fucking kidding me?
46:04 That's gigantic, all right?
46:06 And the mayor, he's going to want to see cash...
46:08 ...he's going to want to see it in an account...
46:10 ...he's going to want to see it right now, and he will check.
46:13 And that's why this meeting isn't happening.
46:15 Because to get millions, you need millions.
46:22 We already did it.
46:25 What?
46:27 We got the Bureau to park $2 million for three days.
46:29 We've got the account numbers.
46:32 - "We" meaning you and him? - Yeah, we did it.
46:36 Really?
46:37 Yeah, me and that guy.
46:39 - She showed me. - You showed him our thing?
46:42 You did that without me?
46:44 - Are you kidding? - What are you going to do?
47:01 You playing me?
47:04 Are you doing this? You playing him?
47:06 It'd be very bad for you if you're playing me.
47:08 You're going to have to decide for yourself, kid.
47:10 I just laid everything out on the table.
47:17 It's all very exciting.
47:23 I didn't know life could be like this.
47:29 You're pretty wild.
47:33 You know, we're taking down a...
47:38 A very important politician.
47:41 Mmm-hmm.
48:27 This is Agent Richard DiMaso.
48:29 I'm placing $75, 000 in this briefcase...
48:31 ...for Mayor Carmine Polito to procure casino license...
48:35 ...and building permits for Atlantic City.
48:45 What is this? What...
48:47 Look, I don't know you. Excuse me, I don't...
48:48 I don't know what that is, but this is very weird to me.
48:51 This is very weird. I don't know what the fuck that is, but...
48:53 Go out there and get him now.
48:58 Mr. Mayor!
48:59 Please stop. Listen.
49:00 I apologize if that prick offended you.
49:03 - I really apologize. - Hey, I'm all right, thank you.
49:04 - I'm ok. - No, no, no, no, no.
49:05 I'm fucking embarrassed...
49:06 - to be associated with that guy at all. - It's ok.
49:07 Can I just say something to you, please?
49:10 Don't lose this opportunity to fucking Florida, all right...
49:13 ...because of some bullshit from that punk advisor, all right...
49:18 ...with his "diploma," all right...
49:20 ...who could never get into the school that we come from.
49:23 Don't lose that opportunity.
49:27 - Where you from? - I'm from the Bronx.
49:31 Grand Concourse, 164th Street.
49:36 I got a lot of friends that live up there. Yeah, I go to Tomaso's on...
49:39 - Yeah, Tomaso's. Yeah, yeah. - You know Tomaso's...
49:41 - on Arthur Avenue? - Yeah, I love the clams there.
49:42 - The clam, the spicy clams. - Yes. Oh, so good.
49:44 - Oh, they're fucking to die for, those things. - Yeah.
49:46 Yeah, I haven't been there in a while. I like that place.
49:49 Well, you know what?
49:51 Tell me, can I call you Carmine?
49:53 You know, Carmine...
49:56 ...hey, my fucking heart's going from running down the stairs.
49:58 I'm not used to running.
50:00 There's a lot of green grass in that hotel room up there...
50:04 ...all right, and all the deals would float through you.
50:06 You get a serious piece on both ends, all right?
50:09 You do with it what you will.
50:10 I mean, I live in the real world, all right?
50:11 I am a family man. I got mouths to feed...
50:13 ...and everything like that, but, you know, you got...
50:15 We just... We got to grease you directly.
50:18 No middlemen, no bullshit, it's the Arab way.
50:20 - That's it. That's it. All right? - Yeah, look, I understand.
50:23 It's a great opportunity.
50:25 You understand, it's just... I got a little thrown...
50:27 ...by going to have a meeting with somebody that ended up not being there, so...
50:30 - I was thrown as well. - No, look, I understand.
50:32 I'll deal with you directly.
50:34 I don't want any middleman or any of that bullshit.
50:36 - Done. Done. You and me. - Deal with you directly.
50:37 I like you, eye to eye, we can do business together.
50:40 That's fine.
50:41 Yeah, how long you known this guy?
50:43 I mean, you work with this guy before?
50:44 I got to work with him. It's the sheik, all right, you know...
50:46 But I still need to meet the sheik.
50:48 - Yeah. Done. After you. - Ok?
50:50 I'm going out for dinner with Carmine and the wives in Camden.
50:52 Who?
50:54 Carmine and myself and the wives.
50:55 What? Without me?
50:57 He doesn't like you. What do you want from me?
50:58 I got him to come back and take the money.
51:00 You got him on tape, all right?
51:01 I mean, I can't make him like you.
51:03 You know, I mean... I did my job.
51:05 Did you tell him that you were working with me?
51:07 That I'm the sheik's associate?
51:10 I just fucking told you, he doesn't like you.
51:12 I mean, let him have a night out...
51:12 ...with a human being, for fuck's sake, all right?
51:14 He's going to jail soon. You're done with him.
51:16 You got him on tape taking a bribe.
51:18 Carmine has got to deal with me, Irving.
51:20 We're going to use Carmine. Yeah, no, we're gonna get Carmine's...
51:23 We're gonna use Carmine to get other people.
51:24 That's what we're gonna do.
51:25 What? Like who?
51:27 Carmine's going to use the sheik to pay off people.
51:29 You fucking nuts? What are you... Are you fuck...
51:31 We're going to let Carmine show the sheik Atlantic City...
51:33 ...how he's going to renovate hotels, and see who shows up and...
51:36 ...whoever the sheik pays off for licenses and casinos...
51:39 ...that's who we're going to go after. We're going to go after all of them.
51:42 More politicians?
51:43 Yeah.
51:44 You realize how fucking dangerous that is?
51:46 There's no fucking reasoning with you.
51:47 All right, Edith and I were so successful for so long...
51:51 ...because we kept it just small enough.
51:52 You are taking us to a very fucking dangerous place...
51:55 ...with very serious numbers.
51:58 If you were that successful, how come you wound up...
51:59 ...in this room with me right now, taking orders from me?
52:03 You're taking your wife out to dinner?
52:05 Your fucking wife? Did I just hear you correctly?
52:07 That's the one thing you heard me say.
52:10 I just find it rather shocking. That's all.
52:12 I get to handle two wives with one dinner.
52:14 All right? I take Rosalyn out, she keeps her mouth shut...
52:17 ...she sees that my work is legitimate, I get to keep my kid...
52:20 ...and I get to keep that fucking wife happy.
52:22 Both wives happy.
52:37 Richard, what are you doing?
52:39 Richard, don't eat in the bathroom! I told you so many times!
52:43 And Diane brought napoleons.
52:45 Come out of the bathroom and pray!
52:48 Oh, my God, what did you do?
52:49 Richard, the filter is broken in the fish tank.
52:52 It's a problem.
52:53 See, your job is to do the filter, Mom. Mine is to do the gravel.
52:56 When you don't do the filter right, all the fish die. See?
53:00 I can't get that top on the filter, that thing on there.
53:03 We went over this 100 times, Mom.
53:04 And please help Richard to marry Diane so that I...
53:07 ...may have grandchildren and the Pope may have more followers.
53:10 And please bless this food that we are about to eat.
53:13 - Richard! - Yeah, hello?
53:16 - Hi. - Who's this?
53:19 It's Edith.
53:20 - Sit down and pray properly! - Are you all right?
53:24 Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
53:25 I'm just... I'm alone, you know.
53:27 Irving's out with Carmine.
53:29 Oh, yeah, that's right, he went outwith Carmine and his wife.
53:34 Yeah, you must not feel so good about that.
53:35 Richard, sit down.
53:37 Wait. Who's that? Who are you with?
53:39 Oh, no, it's just people.
53:40 "People"? I'm your fiancé. Richard!
53:43 Oh, you've got a fiancé. You're engaged.
53:45 I don't know, I don't know. No fiancé.
53:47 I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
53:48 You don't know? You don't know if you have a fiancé?
53:51 No.
53:52 - The fish filter is broken! - Hmm. Interesting.
53:55 What, you want... You want to get together?
53:57 Richard, do something about the fish tank.
54:01 54th Street?
54:02 Ok, 54th Street.
54:04 Ok. Great.
54:07 That's what that phone call was about
54:09 Everybody thought, "Oh, Richie DiMaso's...
54:11 "...going to stay in the office pushing papers."
54:13 That's not going to happen, Mom.
54:14 I'm outside in the field. I got people working for me.
54:17 My ideas. I'm running the show.
54:19 I'm the quarterback, and I'm not going to settle...
54:22 ...for no one, Mom.
54:26 "I feel a sudden urge to sing."
54:30 "The kind of ditty that invokes the spring."
54:34 Hi. Good to see you. This is Irving.
54:35 - Dolly, Dolly. - Hi. How are you?
54:37 Hi. Nice to meet you. This is Rosalyn. Carmine.
54:40 The man's here.
54:41 Carmie's here.
54:42 The man's here.
54:44 You must be so proud.
54:45 Rocco, how are you?
54:48 Rocco, the... You know, like we do...
54:50 ...with the chicken, very thin, right?
54:51 Thin. Very thin. Absolutely.
54:52 Really thin, look, the way he does this...
54:55 - Does this chicken with the red sauce, right? - Beautiful.
54:57 - With the red sauce, the lemon? - Oh, my God, the garlic.
54:59 - The garlic is amazing. It's so good. - It's so good.
55:00 Here it is, right here. Here it is. This is it.
55:03 This. This right here, this right here! Look at this!
55:05 - Oh, my God! You're going to love it! - You see it?
55:06 This is so good' so good.
55:08 It's the piccata of the gods.
55:10 - Really, so nice. - So what's this, Rocco?
55:12 Carmie, this is a nice digestive.
55:14 Salute.
55:16 - Thank you, Rocco. - Thank you, Rocco.
55:17 - Salute. - You're welcome.
55:19 I believe that you should treat people...
55:22 ...the way that you want to be treated.
55:23 - Yeah right. - Didn't Jesus say that or something?
55:26 - He may have. - I think also...
55:27 ...always take a favor over money.
55:31 I think Jesus said that as well.
55:32 I don't know if he said the second one, but he might have said the first one.
55:36 I chipped that moving furniture. It's my new obsession.
55:39 Moving, redecorating, it makes me feel better, like exercise.
55:43 But there's this topcoat that you can only get from Switzerland.
55:46 And I don't know what I'm going to do...
55:48 ...because I'm running out of it, but I love the smell of it.
55:49 - I can get it for you. - Irv and I can't get enough of it.
55:51 - I can get it for you. Of course. - That would be amazing.
55:53 There's something, the topcoat...
55:55 ...It's, like, perfumey, but there's also something rotten.
55:58 And I know that sounds crazy, but I can't get enough of it.
56:01 Smell it. It's true. Yeah.
56:02 - Dolly, historically... - Oh, my God.
56:04 - ...The best perfumes in the world... - It's disgusting.
56:06 ...they're all laced with something nasty and foul.
56:07 - It's true. Stop. Stop. - It is true. It is true.
56:09 It feels true. It feels true.
56:10 - Irving loves them. - Oh, my God.
56:12 - He can't get enough of that smell. - Can't get enough.
56:16 - Can't get enough. I can't get enough. - Carmine.
56:17 - Carmine, smell her nails. Smell her nails. - Sweet and sour.
56:19 - Rotten and delicious. - What am I smelling?
56:21 - It smells like flowers. - Am I right?
56:23 Flowers, but with garbage.
56:24 - And, like... Yeah. - Or like sour flowers.
56:28 You know what that is for me? It's coriander for me.
56:30 But Irv loves it. He can't get enough.
56:32 - That's what hooks you. - Mmm.
56:34 - He always comes back for it. - Yeah.
56:35 I can't stop.
56:38 I'm having a good time.
56:38 Oh, you two are just so nice.
56:42 Hey' listen...
56:43 - Yes? - He's going to...
56:44 He's going to say, "We have to talk business."
56:47 In five.
56:48 - Four - Four
56:49 - Three. Two. One. - Three. Two. One.
56:51 Thank you. Dolly, can me and the man talk about business here?
57:02 She's all right. She's all right.
57:03 No, no, no, no, no! Don't do that!
57:05 It makes me look more drunk than lam.
57:06 - No, it's ok. - I got you. Ok.
57:09 I don't think that's possible.
57:10 I'm not this drunk. No, it was just because I was laughing.
57:13 - Irving, please don't make me go. - Oh, she's fine. She's fine.
57:15 She's fine. All right. I was just starting to have fun.
57:16 - I was just starting to have fun. - Let's take her to the car.
57:22 Didn't your fiancée want to come out tonight?
57:25 Yeah. No...
57:27 I don't... Yeah, no.
57:29 No, I don't know.
57:33 Oh, God, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, we don't have to talk about it.
57:35 - I was just teasing you. I'm-- - It's all right.
57:39 Do you ever think, like, how did I end up here?
57:40 Like, how did my life become this? Do you ever think that?
57:45 And you wonder, like...
57:48 Am I ever gonna get out to a better place, or is this it?
57:53 You feel like that?
57:55 Yeah.
57:57 Yeah, I do.
58:00 I definitely know that.
58:02 I'm sorry, we don't have to go dancing.
58:03 We can go have coffee or talk or something, just...
58:05 No, no, no, no.
58:06 No. No, I need this.
58:10 Please, I need to go dancing with you.
58:14 Please.
58:17 Ok, baby, let's go dancing.
58:20 "Ooh, it's so good It's so good, it's so good."
58:25 "It's so good. It's so good."
58:35 "Ooh, heaven knows. Heaven knows."
58:40 "Heaven knows. Heaven knows. Heaven knows."
58:50 "Ooh, I feel love. I feel love."
58:55 "I feel love. I feel love. I feel love."
59:04 "I feel love."
59:12 "I feel love."
59:18 - Get out of the way. - Hey! There's a line!
59:20 Hey! What the fuck, man?
59:22 What the fuck!
59:25 Come on, I need to pee! Fucking A!
59:28 Hey! Hurry up and get out of there.
59:31 I really fucking like you.
59:33 - Hello! - Yeah.
59:36 Yeah, I like you, too.
59:38 I want to live.
59:40 All right? For real.
59:42 No more fake shit, all right?
59:46 We're gonna wait until we decide to go for love, Richie, for real.
59:49 - Ok. - That's when we fuck.
59:53 All right? Not till then, ok?
59:56 Ok.
59:56 Are you gonna fuck for real, or get out of the stall for real?
59:59 All right?
1:00:00 - Yeah. - No more fake shit?
1:00:01 No more fake shit.
1:00:02 - No more fake shit. - No more fake shit!
1:00:04 - No more fake shit. - No more fake shit.
1:00:07 Fuck me, I got to piss!
1:00:08 "Ohhh, baby! My heart is full of love and desire for you."
1:00:15 "Now, come on down and do what you've got to do."
1:00:21 Get out.
1:00:23 Get out.
1:00:26 I want to be fucking real!
1:00:28 I want to be fucking... I want to live!
1:00:39 Are you ready?
1:00:41 "My, my, my."
1:00:44 "Delilah."
1:00:48 "Why, why, Why?"
1:00:52 "Delilah?"
1:00:56 "So before..."
1:00:59 "...they come to break down the door..."
1:01:03 "...forgive me, Delilah."
1:01:05 "I just couldn't take anymore."
1:01:11 "Forgive me, Delilah."
1:01:13 "I just couldn't take anymore."
1:01:22 Hey, boys, this guy right here, Julius.
1:01:25 This guy...
1:01:27 Irving Rosenfeld, you know what he's gonna do?
1:01:29 He's gonna bring the sheik to Atlantic City...
1:01:31 ...that's what he's gonna do.
1:01:33 Where we can rebuild all those resorts there...
1:01:35 ...put everybody back to work.
1:01:37 He's gonna get this community, he's gonna get this state...
1:01:40 ...back on its feet to where it belongs.
1:01:43 Isn't that right?
1:01:45 He's gonna grow our tax base and create thousands...
1:01:48 ...and thousands of jobs for everyone.
1:01:51 You understand that? You know what that means?
1:01:53 To Irving.
1:01:54 - To Irving. - To Irving.
1:01:56 Come on, this guy right here, he's got a big heart.
1:02:01 I'd just hate it if it didn't work out.
1:02:04 What do you mean?
1:02:05 Of course it's gonna work out, Irv.
1:02:07 Come on, guys like you and me?
1:02:08 Come on, man. Right? We dream and we build.
1:02:13 We never give up, we never quit.
1:02:20 Hey, can I ask you a question?
1:02:24 - Yeah, sure. - Is the sheik black?
1:02:29 He's from... He's... He's an Arab.
1:02:34 Well, that... That's black, isn't it?
1:02:38 I don't know.
1:02:40 I don't know, maybe it's a dumb question, but...
1:02:42 ...I'm just wondering.
1:02:44 Why are you asking?
1:02:46 I would like to arrange for the sheik to see Camden.
1:02:51 To see the people of Camden.
1:02:53 The people I serve. The people I love.
1:02:55 Who are mostly black and Puerto Rican.
1:02:59 Irv, I really want him to see...
1:03:02 ...how good this is going to be for the community...
1:03:05 ...how ready we are for this opportunity.
1:03:08 And he can see how far his dollar will go.
1:03:11 You know what I mean? What do you think?
1:03:12 Yeah.
1:03:13 Yeah, we can do that. Yeah.
1:03:15 - Yeah? - He can see Camden. Yeah.
1:03:17 All right.
1:03:18 All right, good. Yo, hey,
1:03:20 I got something I want to give you.
1:03:22 - Come on. - For me?
1:03:23 Yeah, I got... I got you a gift.
1:03:25 - Let's get out of here. - Ok.
1:03:27 The girls are going to kill us.
1:03:33 Right here.
1:03:36 There you go.
1:03:40 What is it?
1:03:41 It's a microwave. It heats up everything.
1:03:43 Pasta, lasagna, meatballs, whatever.
1:03:46 - Really? - It's science. Yeah, that's how it...
1:03:47 ...heats up the food, it's scientific.
1:03:49 And you specifically bought this science oven for me?
1:03:56 Yeah.
1:03:59 A new friend.
1:04:04 Thank you. Thank you.
1:04:10 Don't put metal in it.
1:04:11 Come on, let's get it out of here.
1:04:13 I need a jet at Teterboro.
1:04:15 I need a jet at Teterboro for the sheik. I told you that.
1:04:17 You don't need a jet.
1:04:18 You just let him walk to the curb at JFK.
1:04:21 That's not how it works.
1:04:22 No, you got to start from the feet up.
1:04:24 That doesn't mean anything. What does that mean?
1:04:26 It means you got to be committed.
1:04:27 It means you got to be committed to something...
1:04:28 ...in your life, for Christ's sake, all right?
1:04:30 I want a jet at Teterboro for the sheik.
1:04:32 It could be a small jet, doesn't even have to take off.
1:04:34 'Cause I know you're so worried about how much money...
1:04:35 ...the Bureau's gonna fucking spend.
1:04:37 You take off and land on the tarmac ok?
1:04:41 All right, I'll... You can have a jet for an hour, but it...
1:04:43 - ...takes off and lands at Teterboro. - I got the jet?
1:04:45 - You got the jet, yeah. - All right, thank you.
1:04:49 All right, so tell me the rest of the ice fishing story.
1:04:52 Where was I?
1:04:53 Your father woke you up, it was a blizzard, it was Lake Canoga.
1:04:55 Come on, come on.
1:04:58 Ok, well, my brother and I were on the ice...
1:05:00 ...and my father came out of the house and I could see him coming.
1:05:03 He was holding a lantern and he was in the blizzard...
1:05:05 ...and I knew he was gonna be angry.
1:05:07 So I went to intercept my father...
1:05:09 ...because I knew if he saw what my brother was doing, he was gonna kill him.
1:05:12 Oh, so you tried to protect your brother...
1:05:13 ...but you couldn't, and that's why you feel bad...
1:05:15 ...because you're trying to protect me...
1:05:16 ...and you're worried about me. Is that what the story is about?
1:05:18 - It's about protection. - No, it's not about protection.
1:05:20 - It's not? - No.
1:05:22 All right, fine.
1:05:25 "Don't put metal in that science oven, Rosalyn.
1:05:28 "Don't put metal in the science..."
1:05:31 He always treats me like a fucking child.
1:05:33 I'll do whatever I want.
1:05:37 Oh!
1:05:39 - Another fire! - No, Danny, not that one!
1:05:41 That one's empty. We got to use the big one.
1:05:44 I told you not to put metal in the science oven.
1:05:46 What'd you do that for?
1:05:47 Don't make such a big deal. We'll just get another one.
1:05:50 I don't want another one.
1:05:51 I want the one that Carmine gave me.
1:05:52 "Oh, Carmine. I want the one that Carmine gave me.
1:05:55 "Carmine, Carmine." Why don't you just marry Carmine?
1:05:57 Get a little gold microwave and put it on a chain around your neck.
1:06:00 You want to be more like Carmine?
1:06:02 Why don't you build something, like he does?
1:06:04 Instead of all your empty deals...
1:06:05 ...that are just like your fucking science oven.
1:06:07 You know, I read that it takes all of the nutrition out of our food.
1:06:10 It's empty, just like your deals.
1:06:12 - Empty, empty. - Listen to this bullshit.
1:06:14 It's not bullshit.
1:06:16 I read it in an article. Look.
1:06:18 By Paul Brodeur.
1:06:21 Bring something into this house...
1:06:22 ...that's gonna take all the nutrition out of our food...
1:06:24 ...and then light our house on fire?
1:06:26 Thank God for me.
1:06:56 All right, you've got this.
1:07:05 I don't think you should come to Carmine's party tonight.
1:07:09 You look beautiful, by the way.
1:07:12 Don't look at me. All right?
1:07:15 Don't look at my legs, don't look at my hair...
1:07:17 ...don't smell my hair, don't ask me how I am...
1:07:19 ...don't talk to me outside of these roles...
1:07:20 - ...'cause we're done. - Where are you going?
1:07:22 Just stand still. Get under the umbrella.
1:07:24 Come on. It's just, Carmine wants Rosalyn to come.
1:07:28 I don't care.
1:07:30 You weren't listening. I don't care if Rosalyn comes.
1:07:32 Just do your job, ok?
1:07:35 You're nothing to me until you're everything.
1:07:39 I'm not Rosalyn, I'm not gonna put up with that shit.
1:07:48 - That's a fucking jet, right? - It's good.
1:07:51 That's the kind of moves you need to make.
1:07:54 - Paco Hernandez? - Hi. How's it going?
1:07:56 - Richie DiMaso. - Nice to meet you.
1:07:57 Nice to meet you in person.
1:07:59 This is Irving Rosenfeld.
1:08:00 Paco Hernandez. Nice to meet you.
1:08:02 - Paco? He's... - He's not a real Arab.
1:08:05 No, I'm Mexican, from Tucson.
1:08:08 Where's my guy? Where's Al? Where's Al from Queens?
1:08:10 Who? My friend from Queens. Where is he?
1:08:12 - What are you doing? - I got to hire an FBI guy.
1:08:14 - You speak any Arabic? - Yeah.
1:08:16 - That's it? - That's good.
1:08:17 No, I have a couple of phrases.
1:08:19 From the feet up, you motherfucker. What are you doing? Come on.
1:08:22 Act noble. That's it, just, you know...
1:08:23 ...like you can't barely understand English...
1:08:25 ...you can't speak it, you say as little as possible...
1:08:27 ...you follow my lead, all right? All right?
1:08:29 Ok. Who's running this? I thought you were running it.
1:08:30 I am running this, but you got to listen to him.
1:08:32 He's the guy with the vision.
1:08:33 I got the vision? Know what vision I had?
1:08:35 You just kissing my girl, right outside. That's what vision I had.
1:08:37 I thought you guys broke up.
1:08:39 I'm giving you a compliment.
1:08:41 What's going on?
1:08:43 - Don't worry about it, all right? - You got a knife.
1:08:45 All right, this is for the mayor.
1:08:47 You got to present it to the mayor.
1:08:49 Just look at me, all right?
1:08:50 Look me in the eye.
1:08:52 This means a lot to you, right?
1:08:54 - That knife. - Oh.
1:08:55 Play it. You present it, all right?
1:08:57 Friendship for life, all right?
1:08:59 - You got to feel it. - Right.
1:09:00 - Sacred, can you do it? - Sacred.
1:09:01 - You got to sell it. You got to sell it. - Sell it.
1:09:03 If you believe it's sacred, it's sacred. Right.
1:09:05 - All right? Can you do it? - Listen to what he's saying.
1:09:07 It's the details, that's what makes this guy a genius.
1:09:08 Again? You compliment me again?
1:09:10 What is this, rubbing salt in the wound? What are you?
1:09:12 I'm complimenting you.
1:09:16 You got any other questions?
1:09:17 Yeah, I think the name of this operation is offensive.
1:09:20 What, Abscam. Arab scam?
1:09:22 It's racist.
1:09:23 Are you fucking kidding?
1:09:24 What do you care? You're Mexican.
1:09:42 Hello, Sheik.
1:09:44 Hello, Sheik, my friend.
1:09:46 Welcome. On behalf of the great state of New Jersey,
1:09:49 I want to welcome you to New Jersey.
1:09:50 I know that was redundant. I'm sorry. I'm just very nervous.
1:09:55 Thank you, thank you.
1:09:59 We have a great party planned for you this evening.
1:10:02 What are you talking about, I can't go?
1:10:04 I just did my hair and makeup and everything.
1:10:06 Sheiks are very particular.
1:10:07 It's international cultural protocol, you know.
1:10:10 - You don't know that? - International protocol?
1:10:12 - Yep. - What the fuck are you talking about?
1:10:14 Do not answer that.
1:10:15 - Do not answer that! - Hello?
1:10:17 Robert Spencer for Irving.
1:10:18 Robert Spencer? I don't know a Robert Spencer.
1:10:21 - What do you want? - I'm a business associate...
1:10:22 - Who is that? Who is that? - I tell you, for God's sake...
1:10:25 - ...I told you not to call here, all right? - What is that about?
1:10:27 - Two more federal agents tonight. - What?
1:10:30 - No. No way. - Two feds.
1:10:32 - No. - I need them.
1:10:33 Bodyguards for the sheik.
1:10:35 No, no, no, that's too many guys for me to control.
1:10:37 - No. No. - Irving, remember who's in charge here.
1:10:40 Rosalyn, get off the extension.
1:10:43 I'm not on it.
1:10:44 Look, don't call here again, all right?
1:10:45 - Don't call at home. - All right. Good night.
1:10:47 All right.
1:10:49 If it's a business call, don't interrupt, all right?
1:10:52 Federal agents?
1:10:54 No, it's bodyguards for the, uh, visiting dignitaries' that's all.
1:10:57 What is it, an IRS thing? Like a tax investigation?
1:11:00 Why do you got to say that? I mean, that's why...
1:11:01 ...I can't invite you... It's too complicated.
1:11:03 - Are you in trouble? - Look, stop being so nosy.
1:11:05 - Look at this shit. - Well, I'm only nosy...
1:11:06 ...'cause you never tell me anything.
1:11:07 Can we clean up this fridge?
1:11:08 I mean, what are you causing trouble for all the time?
1:11:11 Do not answer that!
1:11:13 - Hello? - Hello, it's Carmine.
1:11:14 Oh, hi, Carmine. We were just talking about you.
1:11:17 Yeah, Irving's being a mean, boring man...
1:11:19 ...saying that he doesn't want me to come tonight.
1:11:20 - Tell him he's crazy. - Well, I agree.
1:11:22 - Tell him yourself. - It wouldn't be a party without you.
1:11:24 - Can you imagine? - 'Cause you're coming!
1:11:26 - Yeah. Tell him yourself. - All right. Hey, Carmie.
1:11:29 Irving, you're crazy. Your wife is coming.
1:11:31 You kidding me? She's the life of the party.
1:11:33 - Everybody loves her. - I'm the life of the party.
1:11:36 You know what she's like. She's unpredictable. She's just...
1:11:38 Hey, don't talk about me like that!
1:11:40 - What is Carmine saying? - I can't hear what he's saying.
1:11:41 - Let me listen. - Hey, look, Irving...
1:11:42 - ...it's very important that she comes, you understand? - Carmine loves me.
1:11:44 This is a really big, big night for us, you understand?
1:11:46 Come on, you got to bring your wife.
1:11:48 And Dolly's got something special for her' right?
1:11:49 - Yeah, I do, I got your nail polish. - See? Listen, listen.
1:11:52 Yeah, I got your nail polish for you, sweetie!
1:11:54 See? Something special for you. What is it? What is it?
1:11:57 Come on. Tell me. What... What...
1:12:00 What is it? You got a girlfriend coming?
1:12:02 Come on, I thought we were friends.
1:12:03 You're not gonna tell me you got a girlfriend? This is ridiculous.
1:12:06 - What is it? - Nah, it's...
1:12:08 Look, we handle this like men, you understand?
1:12:10 You're bringing your wife. We're gonna have a good time.
1:12:12 All right, we'll see you there. It'll be fun.
1:12:14 That's an order from the mayor. Goodbye.
1:12:16 All right, you happy? Go get ready.
1:12:20 Yes, I am happy.
1:12:29 "When are you gonna come down?"
1:12:33 "When are you going to land."
1:12:36 "I should have stayed on the farm."
1:12:39 "I should have listened to my old man."
1:12:44 "You know you can't hold me forever."
1:12:48 "I didn't sign up with you."
1:12:52 "I'm not a present for your friends to open."
1:12:56 "This boy's too young to be singing."
1:13:00 "The blues."
1:13:04 "Aaa-ahh."
1:13:12 "So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl."
1:13:17 I know who you are.
1:13:20 You can't plant me in your penthouse
1:13:23 - I know who that is, Irving. - Yeah. Come on.
1:13:28 "Back to the howling old owl in the woods huntin' the horny back toad."
1:13:34 - Oh, it looks so beautiful. - So, this is the lobby.
1:13:37 Want me to take your coats?
1:13:39 Now, mind you, a week ago, this place was a mess.
1:13:41 But what existed was this plasterwork.
1:13:44 Look at the detail. This is beautiful.
1:13:46 My sons are craftsmen. Please, tell them what you did.
1:13:48 - The birds, sky, clouds, wood... - Trompe I'oeil.
1:13:51 - Trompe I'oeil. - "Trick of the eye."
1:13:53 We restore all of this, you see?
1:13:55 Saved you $50 million. Look at me. $50 million...
1:13:57 - ...right off the bat, like that. - Right off the bat.
1:13:59 I waive the law that I helped write...
1:14:01 ...that said casino construction had to be built...
1:14:02 ...ground-up new. We don't do new.
1:14:04 - No. We renovate. - We renovate, right?
1:14:05 We put in some temporary fun.
1:14:07 Some gaming tables, some play money for people to have a good time.
1:14:11 This is for charity, for the Boys and Girls Club...
1:14:14 ...and, uh, some arts programs. Hey, how are you?
1:14:20 This is the Ocean Room.
1:14:26 There's some gentlemen sitting over there at the bar.
1:14:31 That's 130 years sitting right there.
1:14:33 That's how much time between them.
1:14:34 They run the biggest casinos in the United States...
1:14:37 - ...and we have to work with them. - Right.
1:14:39 The good news is...
1:14:41 ...they know how it's done, they get it done...
1:14:43 ...you don't have to worry, everyone makes their money.
1:14:44 You mean the Mob?
1:14:46 Yes, but they're businessmen, ok?
1:14:48 Now, spend as much or as little time with them...
1:14:50 ...as you like, but we do have to deal with them.
1:14:52 All we got to do is go say hello.
1:14:53 - We just got to say hi. That's it. - Carmine, maybe...
1:14:55 I'm not sure that's such a good idea.
1:14:56 We got to confer before we talk to these guys.
1:14:58 Confer? What is there to confer about? I don't understand.
1:15:01 They're casino guys.
1:15:03 They're casino guys. They're the businessmen.
1:15:05 Yeah, we come all this way.
1:15:06 Irving, we came all this way, we should be here.
1:15:07 What's everybody scared of? What's everybody scared of?
1:15:10 You just got to be delicate.
1:15:11 Those are the guys that you guys are all scared of?
1:15:13 Those guys over there? They don't scare me.
1:15:15 - I'm not scared. - Rosalyn? Rosalyn?
1:15:21 Hi. Can I join you?
1:15:30 Irv, that's not the way to do this.
1:15:32 It's not a good idea.
1:15:35 I love this.
1:15:37 Everybody over there's really scared of you guys, do you know that?
1:15:39 - No. - Mm-hmm.
1:15:41 Kids, I want you to go up and get some soda and pizza, please.
1:15:44 It's a disaster.
1:15:48 I think they got this room all wrong.
1:15:50 Yeah? What would you do?
1:15:53 I would do it in all black and gold...
1:15:55 ...and I would do this bar like a big warm golden mirror.
1:15:59 Sounds beautiful.
1:16:00 - Oh, thank you. - But you expect that from her...
1:16:02 - ...because she's so beautiful. - Oh, God, stop.
1:16:04 - Gorgeous. - And I love her hair...
1:16:06 ...so I know I'm gonna love what you do.
1:16:07 - Oh, my God. It's messy. - How do you do?
1:16:08 I'm sorry, is she your wife?
1:16:09 No, she's my wife. She's my wife.
1:16:11 - Look at these fine gentlemen. - Hey, Carmine, there you are.
1:16:13 - How you doing? - How are you?
1:16:14 You well? Good to see you.
1:16:15 - How you doing? - Hey, how are you?
1:16:16 That's enough of that right now.
1:16:18 Hey! Hey! Hey!
1:16:19 - Come on. Come on. - Oh, stop it.
1:16:22 Hey, oh, no, it's because he's a party pooper.
1:16:24 He's so boring.
1:16:26 May I present...
1:16:28 Sheik Abdullah, gentlemen...
1:16:30 ...from Abu Dhabi. Sheik, these are professionals...
1:16:32 ...and they run the best casinos in the United States.
1:16:35 Mr. Sheik, as a sign of our seriousness...
1:16:37 ...Mr. Tellegio came from Miami to meet you tonight.
1:16:39 Mr. Tellegio?
1:16:42 Why didn't you tell me Mr. Tellegio was...
1:16:44 He's in the back room.
1:16:45 It's a sign of disrespect to talk, uh, business on the first meeting.
1:16:48 - That's not true. - It's disrespectful...
1:16:50 Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about...
1:16:52 - He's got it all wrong. - You want to leave him back there in...
1:16:54 ...the back room waiting? Come on, let's go...
1:16:55 - ...we got to go meet him. - My friend from New York...
1:16:57 - ...doesn't know the customs-- ...Hey, no disrespect, pal.
1:16:59 Hey, Irving, I'm gonna be having fun.
1:17:00 Maybe it'll be contagious, huh?
1:17:03 You and me, we're gonna visit.
1:17:04 - She's a fun girl. - I'm having fun.
1:17:08 Can you believe he talks to me that way?
1:17:19 Carmine.
1:17:20 Victor Tellegio was from Miami.
1:17:23 He was Meyer Lansky's right-hand man.
1:17:25 With his prior reputation as an enforcer from 20 years ago...
1:17:30 ...he was known to never bury a body, because he felt it sent...
1:17:32 ...a stronger message to leave it in the street.
1:17:36 He looked at me like...
1:17:39 This is the guy we now had to deal with.
1:17:45 You sure you don't want to go into the Ocean Bar?
1:17:46 It's really, it's beautiful in there.
1:17:48 No, I don't have to go there. I like it here. There's an exit.
1:17:51 I'm like a ghost.
1:17:53 Nobody knows I'm here.
1:17:56 Look, tell him I speak for our friends in Florida.
1:18:00 We're very excited. It's been our lifelong dream...
1:18:02 ...to build casino resorts on the East Coast.
1:18:08 You told him that?
1:18:10 They didn't want the Jews to make money.
1:18:12 They didn't want the Italians to make money.
1:18:13 They definitely don't want the blacks to make money.
1:18:15 After the oil embargo, gasoline crisis...
1:18:19 ...the hijackings, the Olympics...
1:18:21 ...they don't want to see Arabs make money...
1:18:24 ...trust me, not on our soil.
1:18:26 And, I don't know, you can tell him this in your own way.
1:18:29 I've been in the casino business 40 years'...
1:18:31 ...it's scrutinized more carefully than any other business.
1:18:35 Carmine made this legal, but we must be careful, or they'll take it away.
1:18:41 So, Mr. Tellegio, how do you think we should approach this?
1:18:45 What do you think? What do you want to do?
1:18:47 Well, if you want to get the gaming license and keep it...
1:18:51 ...we have to make our principal investor here, the sheik...
1:18:55 ...an American citizen.
1:19:05 Well, to expedite citizenship...
1:19:07 ...that requires very special treatment.
1:19:11 Well, you would know the right people to do that, Carmine.
1:19:14 Carmie knows everybody.
1:19:15 What are we talking about?
1:19:16 Uh, U.S. senators...
1:19:18 Uh, U.S. congressmen and senators.
1:19:20 Wow! That's fantastic.
1:19:23 I say stay away from that.
1:19:24 That's bad, that's trouble.
1:19:27 - It's not good. That's trouble. - Irving, please.
1:19:30 Who is this guy? Who are you? Huh?
1:19:33 What are you, a farmer?
1:19:34 - This is, uh... - Mr. Tellegio, I'm sorry.
1:19:36 - This is Irving. - Irving.
1:19:38 This is Irving Rosenfeld.
1:19:39 - Irving, Irving. - Yes. New York businessman.
1:19:42 What's the matter, Irving? What's the problem?
1:19:45 Nothing. No problem.
1:19:46 Eh, you know, don't get your balls in an uproar.
1:19:48 Everything's fine, everything's good.
1:19:50 It's all good, it's all good.
1:19:52 It's all good. I just hope...
1:19:54 ...the other part of this is all good.
1:19:56 And real. Because we're real.
1:19:59 - You know that. - Yes. That's correct.
1:20:00 You deal with us, we're a real organization.
1:20:03 We're dealing with you, we don't know what we're dealing with.
1:20:13 Where is he from?
1:20:15 Abu Dhabi.
1:20:16 - Oh, he's from the Emirates. - Yeah.
1:20:19 Can I count on you?
1:20:21 You gotta be honest about this. Did you understand me?
1:20:24 "Good" means good.
1:20:26 No bullshit.
1:20:32 Did you hear what I said?
1:20:34 Do you want me to repeat it?
1:20:41 What do you think now?
1:20:42 Tell me.
1:20:45 Tell me.
1:20:51 Uh.
1:20:56 I think... I think, what is, uh...
1:20:58 No, no, let him speak for himself.
1:21:01 Uh...
1:21:03 It's ok. He's a friend of mine.
1:21:04 - It's ok, - I know him, I know him.
1:21:06 I know him, he's a friend of mine.
1:21:07 You guys are way too serious for a party.
1:21:09 Holy cow. What are you drinking?
1:21:11 - Hey, Al, listen to me. - You got a drink?
1:21:12 - We're in a very serious meeting. - I apologize.
1:21:14 - You got to come with me now. - You got a speech that...
1:21:16 - Everybody's waiting for you. - Al, I'll be right behind you.
1:21:18 - Ok, trust me. Right behind you, ok? - Come on.
1:21:20 It'll be great doing business with you.
1:21:23 The investment is real.
1:21:26 It was a pleasure to meet you.
1:21:30 What are the fucking odds of an Italian guy from Miami knowing Arabic?
1:21:34 It turns out he's got casino investments in the Mid-east...
1:21:36 ...and he spent two years learning it Io keep the upper hand.
1:21:39 Listen to me carefully.
1:21:42 If you really put $10 million...
1:21:43 ...in the bank of our choice in the next two weeks.
1:21:45 Carmine, listen to me carefully.
1:21:46 If you really put $10 million...
1:21:48 ...in the bank of our choice in the next two weeks...
1:21:49 ...or not only will the sheik feel insulted...
1:21:52 ...but our friends in Florida will feel deeply disrespected.
1:21:55 So will I.
1:22:06 What a girl.
1:22:07 Rosalyn, you need to come with me, all right?
1:22:09 Oh, I need to come with you?
1:22:10 Yeah, you need to come with me, this needs to stop, all right?
1:22:12 Oh, you think I should come with you? Why don't you go...
1:22:14 Get your fucking hands off me, you fucking whore.
1:22:16 - You're a whore. - Oh, ok. That's really nice.
1:22:18 We're not gonna do this in the Ocean Room tonight, please.
1:22:20 This is my husband's whore!
1:22:22 You know, you stay here right now, darling.
1:22:24 - Please, please, please. - You stay over here with me.
1:22:25 Everybody just calm down. I don't know what's going on.
1:22:27 You all right? Take it easy, ok?
1:22:30 - All right. - These things happen.
1:22:31 Whatever's meant to be is meant to be.
1:22:33 - All right? - I always say that.
1:22:35 - You say that? - Yeah.
1:22:36 See, kindred spirits.
1:22:37 - Whatever's meant to be will be. - Whatever's meant to be will be.
1:22:55 What the hell do you think you're doing?
1:22:56 What do I think I'm doing? Yeah.
1:22:58 What the fuck do you think you're doing?
1:22:59 You're gonna come in here and judge me...
1:23:00 ...for flirting with someone after you've been fucking
1:23:02 - ...my husband for how many years? - I'm not fucking judging you.
1:23:04 You don't have any fucking clue what's going on!
1:23:05 I got a ring on my finger.
1:23:07 We have a child together.
1:23:09 He doesn't love you, Rosalyn.
1:23:10 He loves me, and you know it, and I know it, and he knows it.
1:23:14 And it might be done now, but it was beautiful and it was real.
1:23:17 - Stop it. - And we loved each other.
1:23:18 - Shut up. - You scare him...
1:23:20 ...and you manipulate him, and you use your son.
1:23:26 Well, he must like it on some level. He must want it...
1:23:28 ...because he keeps coming back for it.
1:23:30 It's like that perfume that you love that you can't stop smelling...
1:23:32 even when there's something sour in it.
1:23:35 You can't get enough of it.
1:23:37 But guess what? He's never gonna leave me.
1:23:40 He's always going to want me...
1:23:42 ...and I will make you so sorry, Edith.
1:23:45 I will make you so sorry for what you've done to my family.
1:23:48 - Mark my words. - That is fucked-up.
1:23:51 I would never say anything that fucked-up to anybody...
1:23:53 ...but you do because you're gross inside.
1:23:55 - You're so fucked-up and gross. Yeah. - Oh, I'm gross inside?
1:23:57 Maybe you're gross inside.
1:23:58 What, robbing people and all that shit that you do.
1:24:00 Maybe we're both gross inside. That's what Irving loves about us.
1:24:03 At least he's consistent.
1:24:04 You know, sometimes in life, all you have are fucked-up'...
1:24:08 ...poisonous choices.
1:24:19 Jesus Christ.
1:24:23 "How can you stop the rain from falling down?"
1:24:29 "How can you stop the sun from shining?"
1:24:36 "What makes the world go round?"
1:24:47 "I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees,"
1:24:54 "And misty memories of days gone by."
1:25:00 "We could never see tomorrow."
1:25:07 "No one said a word about the sorrow."
1:25:16 "And how can you mend a broken heart?"
1:25:27 "How can you stop the rain from falling down?"
1:25:31 Ladies and gentlemen, our friend...
1:25:33 ...the working man's friend, my friend, Mayor Carmine Polito!
1:25:43 Hello, Camden.
1:25:45 Hello, New Jersey.
1:25:47 - Hello, Atlantic City! - How can you mend this broken man?
1:25:54 "How can a loser ever win?"
1:25:58 A lot of my friends have been out of work.
1:26:01 A lot of good working families just want to work and live.
1:26:07 They say there's no money nowhere.
1:26:10 You got to be kidding me.
1:26:13 Don't they know who built this country?
1:26:18 But one thing we can all agree upon in the state of New Jersey...
1:26:21 ...is that we never, never, ever give up. Do we?
1:26:25 No!
1:26:30 Please, raise a glass with me...
1:26:34 ...to a new era that begins tonight.
1:26:38 From me and my family...
1:26:41 ...we thank you...
1:26:43 ...for all the hard work that you've given us in the community.
1:26:48 Look what you've done. This is beautiful.
1:26:51 Thank you.
1:28:15 Edith!
1:28:23 Use your phone?
1:28:29 Last night was insane. I got it all figured out.
1:28:36 Stoddard Thorsen.
1:28:38 Listen, I need the Sherman Suite at the Plaza Hotel, ok?
1:28:42 That's a whole floor of the hotel.
1:28:43 No, no, no, no, I need the whole floor. I need it for my operation.
1:28:47 Stop calling it your operation, Richard. It's not your operation...
1:28:50 ...and I'm not giving you a whole floor of the Plaza Hotel.
1:28:53 I have members of Congress that are gonna come in right now...
1:28:55 ...and try to give the sheik citizenship, all right?
1:28:57 They're taking bribes.
1:28:59 That's happening right now. That's what's happening right now.
1:29:01 Bribing members of Congress? Are you out of your fucking mind?
1:29:05 Stoddard, Stoddard, no, shut up!
1:29:06 Listen, do you know who Victor Tellegio is?
1:29:08 Victor Tellegio. Works for Meyer Lansky. You know who that is?
1:29:12 - I know who Victor... - Resorts International, all right?
1:29:15 He wants $10 million. I have two weeks, I have two...
1:29:18 Listen to me, just listen to me. Listen to me!
1:29:21 You're not listening to me!
1:29:23 I have two weeks!
1:29:24 I have two weeks to put this thing together.
1:29:26 And I need you to get me the Sherman Suite at the Plaza Hotel!
1:29:29 - Lower your voice. - And you're gonna fucking do it!
1:29:32 You don't get to say what happens and you don't get to yell at me.
1:29:38 Calm me down, baby.
1:29:39 Calm me down.
1:29:42 You've got to calm me down.
1:29:44 You got to calm me down, baby.
1:29:47 You got to calm me down.
1:29:52 You got to calm me down, baby.
1:29:53 Let's do it, let's do this right now.
1:29:54 - No, no, no. - Let's do it.
1:29:55 - We're not gonna do it unless... - No, I want to do it right now.
1:29:57 I want to do this right now.
1:29:59 - I want you so bad. Look at your skin. - No, no, no.
1:30:00 Oh, my God, your fucking skin is glowing.
1:30:02 No, no, no. Baby, your fucking skin is glowing.
1:30:04 We're not gonna go all the way until we do it for real.
1:30:05 - I want to do it now. - Remember, we agreed on that...
1:30:07 That's what we agreed on, all right?
1:30:08 So we're not gonna do that, all right?
1:30:10 All right? Where are you?
1:30:12 - I'm here. - You're acting all scary.
1:30:13 - Honey, I'm here, ok? Yeah. - Ok, are you here with me?
1:30:15 I love you.
1:30:19 It is real now. I just... I just said it.
1:30:22 So now's the time.
1:30:24 Look at me, look at me.
1:30:25 I love you.
1:30:31 I just said that.
1:30:33 I'm in love with you.
1:30:51 Do you want the truth? You want real? Yeah.
1:30:53 You want real, ok.
1:30:55 I'm ready for real.
1:30:57 This is real. Do you hear my voice, huh?
1:31:01 This is real.
1:31:03 This is real, what you hear is real.
1:31:06 This is real.
1:31:07 What?
1:31:10 - This is me. - What do you mean?
1:31:12 What, are you doing an accent?
1:31:13 The American accent?
1:31:14 No, there is no English.
1:31:15 There's only American, there is no English.
1:31:18 I'm not...
1:31:19 What are you talking about?
1:31:21 Stop it. You're Edith, you're Edith Greensly. No.
1:31:23 Not royal, but you're British. I checked your records.
1:31:25 No, I falsified my records back to birth.
1:31:28 I falsified them. I...
1:31:32 My name is Sydney Presser, and I'm from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
1:31:37 I'm not Edith Greensly. There is no Edith Greensly.
1:31:50 You're freaking me out.
1:32:01 No, you said in the stall...
1:32:03 ...that we were gonna be real...
1:32:06 ...and that we weren't gonna fake it.
1:32:08 I'm being real now.
1:32:10 This is who I am. I'm Sydney Prosser, ok?
1:32:14 So...
1:32:15 Why did you do an English accent after that?
1:32:21 I'm sorry I didn't tell you in the stall.
1:32:23 I created Edith because I needed her to survive, ok?
1:32:26 But I'm done with that now.
1:32:27 I'm so fucking done with it.
1:32:30 All right, like, you do what you need to survive, right?
1:32:31 You, like...
1:32:34 You, um, you know, you live with your mom.
1:32:37 You have a fiancé you don't even acknowledge, right?
1:32:39 That's what you do, and you curl your hair...
1:32:41 ...in little fucking curlers, which is...
1:32:44 No, it's ok. You look good with it, but...
1:32:46 You know, you have straight hair. So that's what you do to survive.
1:32:49 You do all sorts of things, you know?
1:32:50 We all do.
1:32:52 Please don't talk about that.
1:32:56 I'm confused. I'm confused.
1:32:59 I'm fucking confused, too, all right?
1:33:00 I think we should fuck, and then we'll feel it...
1:33:04 ...and then we won't be confused anymore.
1:33:09 No, I want to talk. I don't want to fuck, ok?
1:33:11 - No. No. - I think that will be better.
1:33:14 - No. - Let's just see how we feel.
1:33:15 No, I'm not fucking you! I'm not fucking fucking you!
1:33:21 Oh, shit.
1:33:26 Oh, my God.
1:33:32 Can you please step away from Edith?
1:33:33 What the... Please, I'm asking you nicely.
1:33:34 Please step away from Edith right now.
1:33:36 Come on, step away from her. Please.
1:33:38 You mean Sydney?
1:33:43 I told him. I'm sorry.
1:33:46 I just don't give a fuck anymore.
1:33:47 I don't give a fuck, I don't fucking care.
1:33:50 I don't fucking...
1:33:52 Irving has a gun, huh?
1:33:55 What Richie's got us into, is worse than jail.
1:33:58 I told you last night, don't sit down with those goons.
1:34:01 And what? Now what, huh?
1:34:03 No one's getting $10 million for Tellegio. It's over.
1:34:06 I don't think so.
1:34:07 What? What do you mean?
1:34:12 Because when Tellegio finds out what happened...
1:34:13 ...you think he's gonna go after me?
1:34:16 Someone from the Bureau?
1:34:18 Or he's gonna go after a politician?
1:34:21 He's gonna kill you.
1:34:24 And he's gonna go after your son...
1:34:28 ...and Sydney.
1:34:37 Stoddard Thorsen.
1:34:38 You got to get me the Sherman Suite. The whole ?oor.
1:34:42 That's a no. I said no, wacko. Jesus.
1:34:45 Then you're gonna tell me the point of that fucking fishing story.
1:34:49 Not the way you're behaving.
1:34:51 What's the matter with you? Where are you right now?
1:34:53 I... Why does that make a difference?
1:34:54 Just tell me where the fuck you are.
1:34:56 The field office on 61st Street.
1:34:58 I'm coming to 61st Street right now.
1:35:01 - You're gonna do what? - To beat your ass.
1:35:05 You're gonna what?
1:35:14 You were right.
1:35:17 Should've gone away.
1:35:20 I should've gone away with you.
1:35:22 We were supposed to do it from the feet up, like you always said.
1:35:25 That's how we were meant to do it, only you didn't do it like that.
1:35:28 You didn't do it like that.
1:35:29 You played it safe, so there was always a danger...
1:35:31 ...you were gonna end up with Rosalyn in the dead space...
1:35:34 ...floating on some dead spaceship with the furnitures and the curtains.
1:35:39 And I was your lifeline out, and you were mine...
1:35:41 ...and that was ok, you know?
1:35:45 I wish I could get you back.
1:35:51 Yeah.
1:35:59 You know I can't do it without you.
1:36:02 You know that.
1:36:07 Come on.
1:36:09 Me, you and Danny, like we said.
1:36:12 Like I said.
1:36:14 You never said that. I said that.
1:36:19 We got to get over on all these guys.
1:36:22 That's what we need to be thinking about right now.
1:36:27 Fuck, shit, that's, uh...
1:36:31 That's big.
1:36:33 That's fucking crazy.
1:36:42 Whatever it is...
1:36:46 ...it's got to be the best we've ever done.
1:36:54 Ok?
1:37:01 "Agent DiMaso called me late on the night of the 21st."
1:37:04 "I believe that he was intoxicated."
1:37:07 "He threatened me. I told him this was inappropriate."
1:37:10 "Procedures exist for purposes that we must respect."
1:37:15 "This is the third such call I received from Agent DiMaso."
1:37:18 "He called me again on the night of the 5th at 2:00 a.m....
1:37:22 ...and he threatened to kill me."
1:37:24 "Subsequently, he demanded that I allow him...
1:37:27 ...to use the Sherman Suite of the Plaza Hotel...
1:37:30 ....for purposes of bribing members of Congress."
1:37:34 I...
1:37:36 I am so sorry.
1:37:38 I'm not finished. There's a lot more.
1:37:44 I have nothing but the utmost respect for you as my mentor and...
1:37:47 It's ok, it's ok.
1:37:48 As my mentor and as...
1:37:50 What are you doing?
1:37:51 I just want to talk from my heart.
1:37:53 I don't want to put it on record or anything. I want to get vulnerable.
1:37:55 Can I finish my--
1:37:58 - Can I finish my statement? - Of course, of course.
1:38:00 That's why we're here.
1:38:02 I respect you.
1:38:03 I think you do other things besides respect me.
1:38:07 - Hello. - Hey, hey, hey.
1:38:08 Hey, hey, what are you doing?
1:38:09 What are you doing?
1:38:14 It's just hard for me to control my passion. I'm a very passionate person.
1:38:17 We're from New York. You understand this.
1:38:19 He goes ice fishing in the Mid-west.
1:38:21 That was told to you in confidence.
1:38:23 He's an ice fishing guy. Look at him.
1:38:28 What are you doing?
1:38:29 It's not you, that's not you with the gun. Stop it.
1:38:31 No, it's me, it's me.
1:38:33 Don't do something you don't know anything about, all right?
1:38:36 - Wait, wait, put that... - I'll show you who gets shot.
1:38:37 Do not load that gun!
1:38:38 You drop that gun!
1:38:40 I'm not even gonna hit you.
1:38:40 - Don't! Don't! - Watch this, fucko.
1:38:48 So...
1:38:50 You want to use the Sherman Suite?
1:38:52 - The entire floor? - Yes.
1:38:54 - Oh, God. - Of the Plaza Hotel.
1:38:56 What happened to the Mafia? I thought you...
1:38:58 Yes, no, no, no, this is where they intersect.
1:38:59 This is where the two things intersect
1:39:01 The two worlds, the politicians and the Mafia.
1:39:03 Victor Tellegio's people, who run Resorts International...
1:39:05 Wait a minute. Victor Tellegio showed his face?
1:39:08 Yeah, I sat with Victor Tellegio.
1:39:10 I hung out with him.
1:39:11 Yeah, we can get him, we can get his whole organization...
1:39:14 ...as well as getting any number of congressmen.
1:39:18 I mean, that's just...
1:39:19 That's just peeling the first layer of the onion.
1:39:21 Wow.
1:39:23 How you gonna do that?
1:39:25 - We would get $10 million, that we-- - $10 million?
1:39:28 And that's how we just let them know we're for real.
1:39:29 $10 million?
1:39:30 All right, so what does he say he's gonna do for us?
1:39:31 - How are we trapping him? - They're gonna promise...
1:39:33 ...to build casinos, handle the skims, do the licensing...
1:39:37 And you have what? You have him on tape saying this?
1:39:40 You have that, right? No.
1:39:42 I want you to find a safer way to get Victor Tellegio on a wire.
1:39:46 No $10 million. That's crazy.
1:39:48 - Thank you. - Right?
1:39:49 Even to entrap Tellegio, it's crazy.
1:39:52 But you can have the Sherman Suite.
1:39:55 - No, no. - Stoddard, please.
1:39:57 - To go and get me some congressmen. - Oh, my God.
1:40:00 Go get some congressmen taking bribes.
1:40:03 I want to pinch us some congressmen, ok?
1:40:05 You come back to me, I'm proud of you.
1:40:08 Thank you.
1:40:09 And Stoddard.
1:40:11 Good luck keeping your job, by the way...
1:40:13 ...and staying out of jail, and not being killed by the Mob...
1:40:16 ...but otherwise, you're doing a great job.
1:40:20 What's the end of the ice fishing story?
1:40:21 I'm not telling you the end of the ice fishing story!
1:40:22 I'm gonna call your fucking brother and find out the end.
1:40:24 My brother's dead!
1:40:25 That's how it ends!
1:40:26 He fell through the fucking ice!
1:40:28 Not, that's not... He died a different way, many years later.
1:40:38 Listen, I know it's awkward, and, uh,
1:40:41 I just wanted to say I'm sorry, all right?
1:40:43 But I think we can stick together and, uh, still fulfill our goal.
1:40:46 - I mean, we got the Sherman Suite. - Yeah, you got the whole floor?
1:40:49 - Got the whole floor, yeah. - Whole floor?
1:40:50 That's good.
1:40:51 Yeah, you ok?
1:40:53 Yeah. You?
1:40:54 Yeah, you know, it's all right. Just got hit a little bit.
1:40:57 My eye is a little blurry.
1:40:59 I got drops at the pharmacy.
1:41:01 - Uh, you ok? - Yeah, I'm good.
1:41:03 - Listen, I'm sorry. - Yeah.
1:41:04 I'm sorry.
1:41:06 I'm sorry, Irv.
1:41:12 You can put a camera here.
1:41:13 Right in here, maybe, and we get it all on film.
1:41:16 - You like it? - We do.
1:41:17 You know what, give me those flowers.
1:41:18 If we put the flower vase here, put a camera in there...
1:41:21 ...and then we can get a clear shot of the couch...
1:41:22 ...where we can put the congressmen.
1:41:23 That's right. That's the idea.
1:41:25 And Carmine will go to jail after he delivers us...
1:41:27 ...congressmen soon-to-be felons.
1:41:29 - We really need the help. - Please sit down.
1:41:31 Representative of the congressman on the phone.
1:41:33 I got to take this, you guys. Everyone out, please.
1:41:36 This is sad, it's just sad.
1:41:38 Darling, please, I got to take this.
1:41:39 Ok, sorry, everyone out. Go out.
1:41:41 Congressman, how you doing? It's Carmine.
1:41:44 Everybody out, please.
1:41:45 Tell me you're gonna be in Trenton this week.
1:41:46 We have an amazing investment opportunity
1:41:48 I'd like to discuss with you.
1:41:50 I'm Federal Agent Richard DiMaso.
1:41:52 I placed $75, 000 into this briefcase...
1:41:55 ...for Representative John O'Connell of the Ninth District.
1:41:57 Representative O'Connell was contacted by Carmine Polito...
1:42:00 ...to ask if he could obtain rapid citizenship through an act of Congress...
1:42:03 ...for one Sheik Abdullah, investor.
1:42:05 - How you doing? Robert Spencer. - Nice to meet you.
1:42:07 I'm excited to be here.
1:42:09 Oh, John, please, this brings the state back.
1:42:12 How long we known each other?
1:42:13 You know what this is gonna do for us?
1:42:15 This is huge for the state of New Jersey.
1:42:17 Stabilizes our economy.
1:42:18 Hotels, restaurants.
1:42:20 Carmine sees it. It's waiting to happen.
1:42:21 This fucking thing is waiting to happen.
1:42:23 But the goddamn bankers...
1:42:25 ...they're keeping their money on the sidelines.
1:42:26 How we supposed to get anything done?
1:42:27 Bankers only put money in the game...
1:42:30 ...when they can reap insane profit.
1:42:33 The only problem is this, uh...
1:42:35 This citizenship situation.
1:42:36 I mean, we got to expedite as soon as possible.
1:42:44 Well, I'll tell you, you came to the right place.
1:42:47 - Yeah? - You know? Yeah.
1:42:48 - We can make it happen. - Oh, hey.
1:42:50 This is going to happen.
1:42:51 You understand, this is real.
1:42:53 On my family, on my kids, on my life, on my work.
1:42:56 I know that, Carmine. You're a good man.
1:42:58 I'm Federal Agent Richard DiMaso.
1:42:59 I placed $75, 000 in this briefcase...
1:43:01 ...for one Representative Gerald Sanders of the Third District.
1:43:04 I don't want to do anything illegal.
1:43:06 Please, Gerry, use it...
1:43:07 ...as a campaign donation, whatever you want to do.
1:43:09 - All right. It means a lot. - Thank you.
1:43:10 I'm placing $60, 000 into this briefcase...
1:43:13 ...for one Congressman Eric Keshoygan of the Fourth District.
1:43:16 I'm gonna do what I can to help, Carmine.
1:43:18 $100, 000 into this briefcase...
1:43:20 ...for two-term United States Senator...
1:43:23 ...Horton Mitchell of New Jersey.
1:43:25 - Atlantic City. - That's right.
1:43:26 All the way down the shore.
1:43:28 A mecca by the sea.
1:43:30 Carmine, you're beloved by your people.
1:43:33 Your constituency is not even a constituency. It's your family.
1:43:37 That's what you represent, family.
1:43:39 The one small thing you do for this man...
1:43:41 ...is a huge thing we do for the people of New Jersey.
1:43:43 This is what we can leave--
1:43:44 Hey, Irving, what are you doing?
1:43:47 Where you going?
1:43:48 Just got to go see a man about a dog. I'm sorry.
1:43:52 I've been a senator a very long time. 16 years.
1:43:55 Trust me, this is probably the biggest opportunity that we could have here.
1:43:58 I will do whatever I can in the United States Senate.
1:44:02 I appreciate this. On my family...
1:44:05 ...on my kids, this needs to happen. It's got to happen.
1:44:08 You have my word.
1:44:23 I want to save us, I want to save us, I want to save Carmine.
1:44:26 It's killing me, it's fucking killing me.
1:44:27 You know the only way to help Carmine is through the Tellegio thing.
1:44:30 Yes.
1:44:31 It's dangerous, it's dangerous. We got to get in there...
1:44:33 ...we got to get a wire in there, we got to make him feel safe.
1:44:36 There's only one thing that could really fuck this up...
1:44:38 ...and that's your wife.
1:44:41 Yeah.
1:45:21 I don't like your husband. You're no good together.
1:45:23 He doesn't appreciate you.
1:45:25 I mean, it happens, it happened to my marriage.
1:45:28 That's why I went to Miami.
1:45:30 Sometimes you just got to be tough.
1:45:32 You got to stand up and you got to leave, you know?
1:45:36 Sometimes you got to let something die to let something live.
1:45:39 You're too beautiful to be unhappy.
1:45:43 I know.
1:45:44 I mean, I don't want to badmouth my husband...
1:45:47 ...but just let me badmouth my husband for a second.
1:45:50 He just thinks that he knows everything...
1:45:51 ...and he's so full of shit. He's such a liar.
1:45:54 He thinks that I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid.
1:45:56 I hear him on the phone, arguing.
1:45:58 He loves Carmine, but he hates that other guy...
1:46:00 ...that curly-headed IRS guy or whatever...
1:46:03 ...who's carting around my husband's ex-lover, that redheaded whore.
1:46:08 IRS?
1:46:08 Anyway, you can see that it drives him crazy.
1:46:11 When you said IRS, what IRS guy? What are you talking about?
1:46:14 I hear them on the phone.
1:46:15 I think that he's got Irv in some sort of bind or something...
1:46:18 ...and he's making him do all of this stuff.
1:46:20 And so Irv and Carmine right now are at the Plaza Hotel...
1:46:23 ...like, throwing all of this money away at, like, Congress or whatever.
1:46:27 They're giving money to Congress or something.
1:46:29 I don't really know, but I overheard it on the phone.
1:46:34 Well, I hate to do this to you.
1:46:37 I got to go talk to your husband.
1:46:39 My boss, he's already angry.
1:46:41 You stay here. I'm gonna give you some money for a taxi home.
1:46:45 Have some dessert, finish the bottle of Prosecco.
1:46:48 I'm sorry.
1:46:56 You all right?
1:46:58 I don't like change.
1:47:04 It's really hard for me. Yeah.
1:47:09 Sometimes I think that I'll die before I change.
1:47:13 It's all right.
1:47:19 It's gonna be ok.
1:47:21 You got to come with me to Miami.
1:47:23 Don't hurt him too bad. He's still Danny's father.
1:47:30 "When you were young and your heart was an open book."
1:47:38 "You used to say. "Live and let live."
1:47:43 "You know you did, you know you did."
1:47:45 "You know you did."
1:47:47 "But in this ever-changing world..."
1:47:50 "...in which we're living..."
1:47:53 "...makes you give in and cry."
1:47:59 Say live and let die
1:48:05 "Live and let die."
1:48:09 "Live and let die."
1:48:12 "Live and let die."
1:48:28 Life is ridiculous...
1:48:30 ...and you know that I would never say anything bad...
1:48:32 ...about your father in front of you, but your father is a sick son of a bitch.
1:48:37 Daddy's a sick son of a bitch?
1:48:40 Don't repeat that.
1:48:42 But yes.
1:48:52 Rosalyn!
1:48:54 Rosalyn!
1:48:56 - What? - This is a dark moment in our relationship.
1:48:58 You know where I was recently? What are you talking about?
1:48:59 I was in your boyfriend's fucking car, all right?
1:49:01 I saw your nail polish.
1:49:07 What's this I hear about your curly-haired friend working for the government?
1:49:10 - Who says this? - What are you talking about?
1:49:11 - Who said that? Who said that? - That's bullshit.
1:49:12 - That's bullshit. - Your fucking wife.
1:49:14 - That's-- - Rosalyn?
1:49:15 He put a fucking canvas bag over my head!
1:49:19 - Hey, hey, what the fuck? - Shut up.
1:49:21 - What... - Shut the fuck up.
1:49:22 Are you happy now? Because he is trying to kill me!
1:49:26 - What are you talking about? - What are you doing?
1:49:28 - What do you think you're doing? Huh? - Get out of here!
1:49:30 - I'm not doing anything! - Why are you talking so much?
1:49:32 You're gonna get us all killed! Danny.
1:49:34 Come here, buddy. All right.
1:49:36 Go draw a picture or something. All right?
1:49:38 You are a sick son of a bitch...
1:49:39 ...for screaming at me like that in front of Danny.
1:49:42 Attaboy, all right?
1:49:43 I'm a sick son of a bitch? You're trying to get me fucking killed.
1:49:46 I'm a sick son of a bitch? Oh, my God!
1:49:48 You drive me so fucking crazy. What are you doing?
1:49:50 Your boyfriend, your fucking boyfriend will kill me...
1:49:54 ...he will kill Danny, and he'll kill you.
1:49:56 - Stop talking like that. - That's who you're dealing with.
1:49:57 He's a mobster, all right? That's who you're dealing with.
1:50:00 What do you think you're doing?
1:50:01 - Stop, all right? Fine! - What are you doing to us?
1:50:02 Yes, I wanted to hurt you, but how do you think that I feel?
1:50:06 All day when you leave me alone, all day...
1:50:09 ...and all I've ever wanted you to do is love me.
1:50:12 That's all I've ever wanted is for us...
1:50:14 ...to stay married and for you to love me.
1:50:17 And that's why I'm going to Miami!
1:50:19 - You're not going to Miami. - That's why I'm going to Miami...
1:50:20 - ...with Pete! - You're not going to Miami!
1:50:21 - You are not going to Miami! - I'm going to Miami with Pete!
1:50:24 I finally found somebody who loves me!
1:50:26 Just like you've always wanted!
1:50:28 Too fucking dangerous. Miami, not now!
1:50:31 - He likes me just the way I am. - Too fucking dangerous.
1:50:32 You're gonna stay normal. You're gonna shut your fucking mouth.
1:50:35 You told me that you wanted me to find a nice, quiet man.
1:50:37 - He's the one. - Oh, and what a doozy you picked.
1:50:40 Oh, you hit that...
1:50:43 He's the most dangerous guy ever.
1:50:44 Well, what do you expect, Irving?
1:50:46 I know everybody through you!
1:50:48 Why can't you just be happy for me?
1:50:54 Why are you taking your heart pill? Irving what's going on?
1:50:59 Irving, take your pill.
1:51:01 What kind of trouble are you in, Irving? What is going on?
1:51:05 What's happening?
1:51:11 I got a plan.
1:51:15 You got a plan? When did you get it?
1:51:16 You know what?
1:51:21 It really fucking came to me...
1:51:23 ...when I was inside of that canvas bag...
1:51:26 ...with your boyfriend's hands around my throat.
1:51:32 Yeah, that's when it really came to me.
1:51:34 - Take the fucking bag off his head. - We got two million...
1:51:35 We got two million coming this week.
1:51:37 - You see? Come on! - What do you think this is?
1:51:39 You think this is a fucking down payment plan?
1:51:41 What, we're Sears or Chevrolet?
1:51:44 You ask Victor...
1:51:46 ...if he wants two million this week.
1:51:50 That's real money. That's real money.
1:51:52 - Two million? - Two million this week.
1:51:54 How?
1:51:56 Wired in.
1:51:57 - Hold, hold on to the scarf. - Irving, come on, you all right?
1:52:02 That true? Is it true what he said about your wife?
1:52:03 - It's not fucking true. That's not... - About Rosalyn?
1:52:05 I can save all of us, and we could save money.
1:52:09 I can take care of you and Danny, ok?
1:52:13 But you got to close your mouth.
1:52:15 I knew it.
1:52:17 I have always said, Irving...
1:52:19 ...that you are very, very hard to motivate properly.
1:52:22 And I knew that Pete was gonna go over there...
1:52:25 ...and knock some sense into your head.
1:52:26 I've been reading this book, Irving.
1:52:28 It's by Wayne Dyer, about the power of intention.
1:52:33 And my intention in sending Pete over to you...
1:52:36 ...was so that you could come up with this plan.
1:52:39 So you're welcome.
1:52:45 Ok.
1:52:47 Thank you, Rosalyn. Thank you for the plan.
1:52:50 You're welcome.
1:52:50 I appreciate that. So, uh...
1:52:55 I think that we should be partners on this.
1:52:58 Yeah, I'm a good partner, almost better than Edith.
1:53:00 You ever think about that?
1:53:01 You ever think about how you might have underestimated me?
1:53:04 So what is our plan?
1:53:06 Tell me the plan.
1:53:09 What are you gonna do?
1:53:11 I'm gonna keep my mouth shut, and I'm not gonna say anything...
1:53:13 ...but what do I do if Pete calls me, what am I supposed to say?
1:53:15 You got to stop talking about your government agencies...
1:53:18 ...and your IRS and your taxes and your conspiracies...
1:53:20 ...and all of that, you're gonna say how you were wrong.
1:53:22 You were wrong about that.
1:53:23 I'll tell Pete that I was wrong, but you know that in real life...
1:53:26 ...I was right for saying all that stuff...
1:53:28 ...because then that spurred on the actions that made you come up with this plan.
1:53:31 - So I will tell Pete. - Ok.
1:53:33 The power of intention, Irving.
1:53:35 The power of intention.
1:53:37 Thank you.
1:53:38 Ok, ok.
1:53:41 - You were right. - Irv?
1:53:43 Irv?
1:53:50 You're so smart.
1:53:53 Good job, peaches.
1:53:55 Irving, I've been doing a lot of thinking.
1:54:01 And you need to grow up...
1:54:05 ...and you need to face the facts...
1:54:08 ...and I think that both of us will be a lot happier...
1:54:10 ...if we get a divorce.
1:54:13 Ok.
1:54:15 Just think about it.
1:54:18 These things are never easy.
1:54:22 All right.
1:54:29 Irving?
1:54:32 Good luck with your plan.
1:54:36 Necessity truly is the mother of invention.
1:54:40 The FBI was willing to wire the $2 million...
1:54:42 ...if it meant taking down Tellegio and his entire organization.
1:54:51 "They used to tell me, "Boy, you ain't goin' nowhere."
1:54:57 A mobster like Tellegio would never meet at the Plaza Hotel...
1:55:00 ...but only at the office of his attorney...
1:55:02 ...Alfonse Simone.
1:55:03 "You gotta realize all your responsibilities."
1:55:08 "You gotta get out to work and face reality."
1:55:14 "You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load."
1:55:18 "And you gotta keep going down the long black road."
1:55:23 "Long black road."
1:55:27 "So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin."
1:55:33 "I saw a lot of people coming back the other way."
1:55:39 "So I kept on going when I heard them say."
1:55:45 "You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load."
1:55:48 "And you gotta keep going down the long black road."
1:55:53 "Long black road."
1:56:00 Hi. Alfonse Simone.
1:56:02 Edith Greensly.
1:56:03 - Alfonse Simone. - Hey.
1:56:05 - Hi. Alfonse Simone. - Irving Rosenfeld.
1:56:06 Please, uh, be seated.
1:56:07 I appreciate the fact that you all came in person...
1:56:10 ...but, uh, the trip was really unnecessary...
1:56:12 ...because this whole thing could've been done with a simple wire transfer.
1:56:16 As a matter of fact...
1:56:17 ...this is the number of our wire right here.
1:56:22 Where is Mr. Tellegio?
1:56:24 Mr. Tellegio, unfortunately, was called out of town on business.
1:56:28 Oh, that's not good.
1:56:29 You know, we were willing to come here today in person...
1:56:31 ...to meet with Mr. Tellegio as a sign of respect...
1:56:33 - ...to give $2 million... - Well, listen...
1:56:35 ...I can assure you that I have the power of attorney...
1:56:38 Excuse me, if you'll let me finish. We were willing...
1:56:40 ...to give $2 million today of the ten...
1:56:44 ...but without Mr. Tellegio here...
1:56:45 We can't make that decision.
1:56:47 - We can't do that? - It's not the right thing.
1:56:49 It's just not the right time. It's just not good.
1:56:52 You don't have the authorization to make this kind of choice...
1:56:54 ...so don't be hasty, all right?
1:56:56 Not being hasty.
1:56:57 Just, let's be smart about it, all right?
1:56:59 This is not how we do business. I'm sorry.
1:57:02 Apologize, but it's true.
1:57:08 I think you should hang in there, all right?
1:57:11 For what? The guy's not here.
1:57:13 - Edith... - That's it.
1:57:14 - You know what? - Sorry, I can't do it.
1:57:15 This is a surprise. The sheik don't like surprises.
1:57:18 Don't leave.
1:57:20 Edith, this is not your decision to make.
1:57:23 - It's not your decision. - No, I understand, but maybe--
1:57:25 What? Let's go.
1:57:26 Let's call the sheik.
1:57:29 It's not the plan. It's not the...
1:57:31 No, let's...
1:57:33 I'll call the sheik, yeah. Can I use your phone?
1:57:35 - Please do. - Let's see. I don't know if he's in...
1:57:37 ...but I'll call the sheik.
1:57:38 But before I do, I'd like to go over...
1:57:39 ...specifically, what this money will be used for.
1:57:42 Ok.
1:57:43 What we will do is we guarantee...
1:57:46 ...all proper licenses and construction permits...
1:57:49 ...for any hotel-casino...
1:57:51 ...that plans to open before the end of the year...
1:57:54 ...and we'll throw in the customary, uh, privileges of protection.
1:57:59 What if there's obstacles?
1:58:01 - What will you do? - Obstacles...
1:58:02 We are prepared to overcome any obstacles.
1:58:04 This is a big enterprise.
1:58:05 If we have to pay somebody off, we'll pay somebody off.
1:58:08 If we have to lean on somebody...
1:58:10 ...intimidate somebody, we'll intimidate somebody.
1:58:12 We're experienced. This is our business.
1:58:15 That's powerful stuff.
1:58:16 Thank you. And I'll tell you something else.
1:58:18 At the end of this, we'll teach you how to skim...
1:58:22 ...and how to cut it up and make some money on the side...
1:58:24 ...because we invented skimming.
1:58:27 We've been doing it for 30 years.
1:58:29 Thank you, thank you for clarifying that.
1:58:31 Ok.
1:58:33 I'm very happy.
1:58:36 I think that'll be ok for the sheik.
1:58:40 This is the sheik.
1:58:41 Mr. Tellegio is not here.
1:58:43 It's just Mr. Alfonse Simone, his lawyer.
1:58:46 Are we still ok to wire the money?
1:58:48 Simone can take the wire. What's the number?
1:58:50 531...
1:58:51 531...
1:58:52 - 78P... - 78P...
1:58:53 - 76. - 76.
1:58:57 The funds are transferred.
1:58:59 The funds have transferred.
1:59:01 The money's been wired.
1:59:06 - I think we have a deal. - Yes, we do, sir.
1:59:08 Pleasure doing business with you.
1:59:10 Ok, well, thank you very much, Mr. Simone.
1:59:12 Well, thank you.
1:59:13 The sheik's very excited.
1:59:15 I'm sure we'll be seeing each other.
1:59:16 Oh, I'm sure that we'll be seeing each other very soon.
1:59:19 - Looking forward to it. - Yeah, so am I.
1:59:21 You might even get sick of me.
1:59:23 Like these two.
1:59:24 I don't think I'll get sick of you.
1:59:25 - Thank you very much. - Bye.
1:59:29 Goodbye. Nice meeting you.
1:59:42 How did that happen? How did that happen?
1:59:45 I mean, how did that happen?
1:59:47 Finally! Finally, we're getting some respect.
1:59:51 - We're getting some respect finally! - It's you and me! It's...
1:59:54 We're ambitious. That's why.
1:59:55 Whoa. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh. Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
1:59:58 If we have to pay somebody off we'll pay somebody off.
2:00:01 If we have to lean on somebody, intimidate somebody.
2:00:04 "We'll intimidate somebody!"
2:00:10 I'm kissing his boo-boos! I'm kissing his boo-boos!
2:00:13 Oh, come on!
2:00:45 Yeah, well, I got to do it.
2:00:51 What do you mean, there's no sheik? What does that mean?
2:00:53 "There's no sheik"?
2:00:58 I want to face you like a man because I want to be real now.
2:01:00 - All right? - Who is "they"?
2:01:04 - Who is "they"? - "They" is the feds.
2:01:07 - The feds? - Yeah.
2:01:10 Irving...
2:01:13 Look... I'm a good person.
2:01:16 You're a good person.
2:01:17 I've been doing this for a long time, for 20 years.
2:01:21 Do you think I would have taken that money...
2:01:23 ...if it wasn't the right thing to do?
2:01:24 - Hey, look... Look. - Huh?
2:01:26 You're a good person. I know that. I know.
2:01:28 - But in all honesty-- - You said that was the only way, Irv.
2:01:31 You chased me, you remember?
2:01:33 They fucking made me do it. What's a guy to do?
2:01:35 - They had Syd in jail. - Whoa, whoa.
2:01:36 You made me go back to the Plaza to take that money, you piece of shit!
2:01:40 I was gone!
2:01:42 - You fucking prick! - I know. I know. I know.
2:01:44 You motherfucker!
2:01:45 You fucking chased me, you piece of shit!
2:01:48 - Carmine? Honey? - I was gone! I left!
2:01:51 - Everything all right? - Please, Dolly, just go upstairs.
2:01:53 - All right, I'll go upstairs. - Take the kids and go upstairs.
2:01:55 - Please. Please, just go. - Of course. Of course.
2:01:58 I want to make this right. I came here because I want to make it right.
2:02:01 Look at my face.
2:02:02 You tell me that I'm lying to you...
2:02:05 ...when I say that everything I do...
2:02:07 ...is for the good of the people of New Jersey.
2:02:11 Everything I do is for them.
2:02:17 Am I lying to you?
2:02:18 I never had a friend like you before.
2:02:23 I used that money for the goddamn casino.
2:02:28 I got some fucking leverage, all right?
2:02:31 I can help you out.
2:02:32 This is all shit. It's all bullshit.
2:02:34 Look at this thing.
2:02:36 Look at this.
2:02:39 Ceremonial fucking knife. What, is this bullshit? Some toy?
2:02:46 Carmine, Sydney and I got a plan for you.
2:02:48 - Get out. - We can help you out.
2:02:51 Please get out of my house, Irving.
2:02:53 Will you please leave? I'm asking you nicely, please leave.
2:02:58 Get out of my house. Go!
2:03:00 - Get out of our house! - I don't wanna...
2:03:02 Oh, fuck. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
2:03:06 I didn't mean for this to happen.
2:03:08 You break my motherfucking heart, Irving, right in front of my family.
2:03:11 Go, go, go up to the bedroom.
2:03:12 This is what matters to me most, and you're crushing that.
2:03:15 You're going to take me away from them?
2:03:16 I didn't want this to happen ever.
2:03:17 Fucking son of a bitch! Get the fuck out.
2:03:19 - Oh, my God! - Stop!
2:03:20 - You son of a bitch! - Dad, stop!
2:03:22 - I just want to make it right. - Just get out of my house.
2:03:25 Look what you made me do. Please go.
2:03:26 - I'm sorry, Carmine. - Oh, my God.
2:03:28 l am. I'm sorry.
2:03:30 - Get out of here! - Get out!
2:03:32 Will you just get out?
2:03:33 Please go. Please leave. Please leave.
2:03:35 Oh, God. No, Carmine.
2:03:38 - What's happening? - It'll be all right.
2:03:39 No, no.
2:03:42 Oh, my God, no!
2:03:46 - Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. - Irving?
2:03:50 Irving, are you all right?
2:03:53 Where are your heart pills?
2:03:54 - Where are your heart pills? - In the pocket. Inside.
2:03:56 Here. There you go.
2:03:58 Are you all right?
2:04:01 Ok. Come with me. Come on.
2:04:04 - Come with me. - Come on.
2:04:08 Come on, just walk.
2:04:10 - Come on. - You ok?
2:04:14 I got to lay down.
2:04:16 Ok?
2:04:18 Just rest.
2:04:43 - You ready? - Yeah.
2:04:48 I love you.
2:05:07 Please. Come in, sit down.
2:05:22 You know where our $2 million is?
2:05:24 - Two million? - Yeah.
2:05:26 It's with, uh, Victor Tellegio and Alfonse Simone.
2:05:29 No, actually, it's not with Victor Tellegio or Alfonse Simone.
2:05:33 He fucking knows about it.
2:05:34 Its gone missing.
2:05:36 Did you know that?
2:05:37 - No, I knew nothing about that - Where's it gone?
2:05:40 Well, that's interesting that you say that, because...
2:05:42 ...while you were on your way over here...
2:05:43 ...we got an anonymous phone call from someone...
2:05:48 ...who said that, in exchange for immunity for the two of you...
2:05:54 ...and a reduced sentence for Carmine Polito...
2:05:58 ...we get our $2 million back.
2:06:01 That's interesting. That's very interesting.
2:06:04 - I have no idea. - No idea?
2:06:06 No idea what you're talking about.
2:06:08 I get it.
2:06:09 I understand how these deals are made, right?
2:06:11 See, someone has leverage.
2:06:13 Anthony, fuck them. Fuck them. It's over.
2:06:16 - I don't think so. - We got them for wire fraud.
2:06:17 It's over. You're done.
2:06:18 - You're both done. You're done. - No, I don't think so.
2:06:19 - I don't think so. - Oh, you don't think so?
2:06:20 Richard, you requested the two million.
2:06:24 And you gave Brenda the account number.
2:06:27 - No, no. - We didn't do any of that.
2:06:30 None of it.
2:06:32 How do we know that you don't have the money?
2:06:35 Am I living in a fucking nightmare right now?
2:06:37 I find this a little offensive. Really, I find this a little offensive...
2:06:41 ...and I don't see that you got any sort of--
2:06:42 Don't let him get in your head.
2:06:43 Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.
2:06:45 We're dealing with a very clever individual.
2:06:46 - Don't let him... - Richard. Richard.
2:06:49 Think about it, all right?
2:06:51 You got some big arrests.
2:06:53 You got U.S. congressmen. You look good.
2:06:56 You're going to be all over the news.
2:06:59 You know what doesn't look good?
2:07:01 A story about gross incompetence.
2:07:04 I have a warrant for--
2:07:05 Sorry, do I have the wrong office?
2:07:08 This 701? Alfonse Simone?
2:07:11 This is 701.
2:07:13 My name is Roger Thigpen. I've had this office for 25 years.
2:07:16 I'm a divorce attorney.
2:07:22 You lost $2 million of taxpayer money...
2:07:24 ...because you were confused about the location...
2:07:26 ...and the identity of Victor Tellegio's attorney?
2:07:30 The role of Tellegio's attorney...
2:07:31 ...Alfonse Simone, was played by our friend, Ed Malone...
2:07:35 ...the Cold Cut King of Long Island...
2:07:37 ...whose party we were at when Sydney and I first met.
2:07:41 Alfonse Simone.
2:07:43 People believe what they want to believe, Richie.
2:07:46 No, because you conned me. That's why, because you both fucking con...
2:07:49 You got under me. You did.
2:07:50 You know, that, uh...
2:07:51 That doesn't sound so good, either, right there.
2:07:54 You know, I mean, and I don't know what you're talking about...
2:07:56 ...but let's just assume you want to go with that story.
2:07:59 Really?
2:08:01 That's the story you want to go with?
2:08:03 All right?
2:08:04 That's what you want the New York Times to hear?
2:08:07 That you got conned by the very con men...
2:08:13 ...who you forced to entrap the members of Congress in the first place?
2:08:19 That's what you want to go with?
2:08:20 That doesn't sound so good for your whole thing, does it?
2:08:24 And how ironic that the ones who were working hardest...
2:08:29 ...to get the economy of New Jersey going...
2:08:33 ...those are the ones that you round up.
2:08:35 And why? Why?
2:08:36 Because, what, they're the easiest to go after?
2:08:40 And what about the real bullshit artists?
2:08:44 You didn't even come close to the big leagues.
2:08:46 Those big guys, the money men.
2:08:50 That's what I was trying to go after.
2:08:52 I'm sorry to tell you, you got none of them.
2:09:00 You know, Richie, I think, uh...
2:09:03 We may call you as a witness, but otherwise you're done.
2:09:05 I think you better go home.
2:09:08 - Stoddard... - Go on home, Richard.
2:09:26 We took down some very big guys.
2:09:28 Some of whom, they were just doing business as usual...
2:09:31 ...helping their communities or their states...
2:09:34 ...but some of them knew they had larceny in their blood.
2:09:38 And they even admitted it.
2:09:39 But in all, it was six congressmen, one United States senator...
2:09:46 ...and my friend, Carmine Polito.
2:09:51 We gave the two million back...
2:09:53 ...so Carmine got the reduced sentence, 18 months.
2:09:59 The loss of his friendship...
2:10:01 ...would haunt me for the rest of my life.
2:10:07 And when the story was written...
2:10:09 ...Richard DiMaso's name was never mentioned.
2:10:25 Syd and I, we moved in together.
2:10:29 Rosalyn...
2:10:30 The car is a little dinged up, I'm a little stiff...
2:10:33 ...but whatever, I don't want to talk about it.
2:10:36 She would always be interesting.
2:10:41 You know, my boss knows you did him a solid.
2:10:43 Yes, I did.
2:10:44 He never took a nickel, so they can't get him for nothing.
2:10:47 I was never going to let that happen.
2:10:50 - All right. - Irv.
2:10:57 I'm done with that nail finish.
2:10:59 Bye for now. I'll see you next weekend.
2:11:06 Hey. Look at you.
2:11:08 I think your mom got your nose. Is it ok that I wipe that?
2:11:10 Our conning days were behind us.
2:11:15 You can fool yourself for just so long...
2:11:18 ...and then your next reinvention...
2:11:19 ...better have your damn feet on the ground.
2:11:23 This one is abstract expressionism. I love it 'cause these ones...
2:11:25 We got a loan from a bank and were able to go gallery-legitimate.
2:11:31 The art of survival is a story that never ends.
2:12:17 "They used to tell me "Boy, you ain't going nowhere."
2:12:23 "With your cheap guitar and your big, long hair."
2:12:29 "You gotta realize all your responsibilities."
2:12:34 "You gotta get out to work and face reality."
2:12:40 "You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load."
2:12:44 "And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road."
2:12:49 "Long black road."
2:12:53 "So I drifted for a while down the road to ruin."
2:12:59 "I couldn't find my way. I didn't know what I was doing."
2:13:05 "I saw a lot of people coming back the other way."
2:13:10 "So I kept on going when I heard them say."
2:13:16 "You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load."
2:13:20 "And you gotta keep going down the long black road."
2:13:25 "Long black road."
2:13:37 "Long black road."
2:13:55 "Long black road."
2:13:58 "Long black road."
2:14:07 "Long black road."
2:14:10 "Long black road."
2:14:14 "I made a lot of money. I was makin' quite a mess."
2:14:20 "But they all told me that money wouldn't bring me happiness."
2:14:25 "You gotta work like a man in a real man's life."
2:14:32 "You're gonna have to take all the trouble and strife."
2:14:37 "You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load."
2:14:40 "And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road."
2:14:46 "You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load."
2:14:50 "And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road."
2:14:55 "You gotta get up in the morning take your heavy load."
2:14:59 "And you gotta keep goin' down the long black road."
2:15:10 "Long black road."
